Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an organic compound with the formula CH2=C(CH3)COOCH3. This colorless liquid, the methyl ester of methacrylic acid (MAA), is a monomer produced on a large scale for the production of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

Methyl Methacrylate is a methyl ester of methacrylic acid. Methyl methacrylate is a reactive resin, and the polymerized form is used as cement in dentistry, orthopaedic surgery and ophthalmology. The monomer form of this agent has relaxation effect on smooth muscle systemically, which might be a result of nitric oxide-mediated response.
 
Methyl methacrylate monomer appears as a clear colorless liquid. Slightly soluble in water and floats on water. Vapors heavier than air. Vapors irritate the eyes and respiratory system. Containers must be heavily insulated or shipped under refrigeration. An inhibitor such as hydroquinone, hydroquinone methyl ester and dimethyl t-butylphenol is added to keep the chemical from initiating polymerization. The chemical may polymerize exothermically if heated or contaminated with strong acid or base. If the polymerization takes place inside a container, the container may rupture violently. Used to make plastics.

The principal application, consuming approximately 75% of the MMA, is the manufacture of polymethyl methacrylate acrylic plastics (PMMA). Methyl methacrylate is also used for the production of the co-polymer methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS), used as a modifier for PVC. Another application is as cement used in total hip replacements as well as total knee replacements. Used as the "grout" by orthopedic surgeons to make the bone inserts fix into bone, it greatly reduces post-operative pain from the insertions but has a finite lifespan. T

ypically the lifespan of methylmethacrylate as bone cement is 20 years before revision surgery is required. Cemented implants are usually only done in elderly populations that require more immediate short term replacements. In younger populations, cementless implants are used because their lifespan is considerably longer.] Also used in fracture repair in small exotic animal species using internal fixation.

MMA is a raw material for the manufacture of other methacrylates. These derivatives include ethyl methacrylate (EMA), butyl methacrylate (BMA) and 2-ethyl hexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA). Methacrylic acid (MAA) is used as a chemical intermediate as well as in the manufacture of coating polymers, construction chemicals and textile applications.

Wood can be impregnated with MMA and polymerized in situ to produce a stabilized product.

Application:

1. Used for manufacturing plexiglass, coatings, lubricating oil additives, wood infiltrating agent, paper polish, etc.

2. Methyl methacrylate is not only a kind of organic chemical raw material, but also can be used as a chemical product directly. In addition, it is widely used in adhesives, coatings, resins, textiles, paper making and other industries. As a kind of chemical products, can be directly used in leather, ion exchange resin, paper, polish, textile auxiliaries, leather treatment agent, lubricating oil additive, crude oil, wood and soft wood infiltration agents, motor coil soaking agent, insulating pouring material and plastic type emulsion of plasticizer, floor polishing, unsaturated resins, senior methacrylate and many other fields.

3. Organic synthetic monomer. It is also used in the manufacture of other resins, plastics, coatings, adhesives, scale inhibitors and dispersants, lubricants, wood infiltrators, motor coil infiltrators, paper glazing agents, printing and dyeing auxiliaries and insulation pouring materials.

4. Used as a monomer of plexiglass, also used in the manufacture of other resins, plastics, coatings, adhesives, lubricants, wood and cork soaks, paper glazing agent, etc
