Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA)

CAS:106-91-2

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is an  is an epoxy-functional monomer/ acrylic monomer ester with the molecular formula C7H10O3, CAS 106-91-2.  It has a sharp odour that may be troublesome.

It is a common monomer used in the creation of epoxy resins. Glycidyl methacrylate is used to provide epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins.

Glycidyl Methacrylate Chemical Structure Composition.

Production

Glycidyl methacrylate is produced from methacrylic acid and glycidol. Glycidol contain both epoxide and alcohol functional groups.

Uses

Glycidyl methacrylate is used in the production of polymer coatings and finishes, adhesives, plastics and elastomers.

GMA can also undergo polymerization to form poly (glycidyl methacrylate).
