Methyl acrylate, usually synthesized by esterification reaction between methacrylic acid and various alcohols or phenolic compounds, is a type of organic compound. Methyl acrylate has a high refractive index and transparency, making it widely used in fields such as plastics, optical materials, coatings, etc.
In the plastic industry, methyl acrylate is typically copolymerized with other monomers to form transparent polymer materials. These materials have excellent weather resistance, impact resistance, and transparency, and are widely used in the manufacturing of automotive components, building materials, medical devices, electronic equipment, and more. In addition, methyl acrylate can also be used to prepare coatings, adhesives, insulation materials, fibers, and other specialty chemicals. Due to its active chemical properties, methyl acrylate can also be used to synthesize other compounds with important applications.
According to our research data, the total global consumption of methyl acrylate is expected to reach 402100 tons in 2023, with a market revenue of $574 million.
