Is Methyl Acrylate the same as Methyl Methacrylate?

No. They are distinct acrylic monomers with different chemical structures. Methyl Acrylate should be used only where it is specified in the intended copolymer formulation; a name-based substitution can change the manufacturing outcome.

Is Methyl Acrylate directly added to a coating or adhesive?

No. MA is normally introduced during polymer manufacture. The resulting acrylic resin or dispersion is then formulated into coating, paper-treatment, fibre-processing or adhesive systems according to the required finished-product design.

What needs to be aligned before Methyl Acrylate is used in production?

Align assay, water, stabilizer condition, colour, pack size and storage period with the polymerisation procedure. The batch COA and associated TDS and SDS should correspond to the agreed grade before the monomer enters process.

Methyl Acrylate (MA) CAS 96-33-3

Methyl Acrylate (MA), CAS 96-33-3, also known as methyl 2-propenoate or acrylic acid methyl ester, is a stabilized acrylate monomer for polymers used in paper, textile, leather and floor-covering coatings, adhesive resins and acrylic-fibre processes. Ethyl Acrylate is a related lower-alkyl acrylate for copolymer design. It is selected during polymer manufacture, not added as a finished coating or adhesive. COA, TDS and SDS are matched to the offered grade; assay, water, stabilizer condition, packaging and storage period are confirmed for the intended process.

3 Order Specification and Documentation

Product Introduction

Methyl Acrylate (MA) (CAS 96-33-3) is a stabilized acrylic monomer for polymer manufacture and chemical synthesis. The listed material is used as a reactive feedstock in acrylic copolymer routes for industrial resins and binders; it is not Methyl Methacrylate and is not a finished coating, adhesive or polymer dispersion.

Applications

Acrylic copolymer manufacture for industrial coating and binder resins
Polymer intermediates for adhesive, ink and dispersion systems
Emulsion, solution or suspension polymerization using MA as a specified comonomer
Chemical synthesis routes requiring methyl acrylate as an acrylic ester feedstock

Order Specification and Documentation

The specified MA grade is confirmed against the intended polymer or synthesis route, including the agreed monomer assay, inhibitor system, colour, water and acid-value limits. A batch COA, along with the relevant TDS and SDS, is available for the supplied material. Packaging and quantity are confirmed against the agreed handling and production requirement.

For related acrylic ester monomers with different alkyl groups, see Ethyl Acrylate, n-Butyl Acrylate, and Isobutyl Acrylate.
