Methacrylic acid Glacial Methacrylic acid 79-41-4 BASF Acrylics/ Acrylates ADHESIVE Unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, for manufacturing polymers and for use as a feedstock for syntheses. Methacrylic acid glacial can be used to produce homopolymers and copolymers. It can be incorporated in copolymers in order to lower the softening point and reduce the hardness. It also improves the adhesion of polymers used in adhesives. Methacrylic acid is a carboxylic acid which can be used to produce methacrylic esters, methacrylamide, N-substituted methacrylamides and methacrylyl chloride by common methods. Polymers which contain methacrylic acid can be used in many different applications. They can also used as flocculants, ion exchangers and as polyelectrolytes for soil conditioning. Unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. Used to produce homopolymers and copolymers. Improves the adhesion of polymers used in adhesives. Reduces hardness. Lowers the softening point and reduces the hardness of copolymers.
