Acrylates / Methacrylates Monomers

Acrylates and methacrylates monomers are typically clear, colorless liquids that polymerize readily to form durable, transparent materials. Key features include their excellent adhesion, rapid curing times, and ability to form high-performance coatings. Particularly used in coatings, adhesives, 3D printing, and composites. 

Alternatives include bio-based monomers. A notable trend in the industry is the shift towards green chemistry, with increasing focus on renewable raw materials. Sub-types include methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), and butyl methacrylate.
