Glycidyl methacrylate is a colorless, transparent liquid insoluble in water, soluble in almost all organic solvents, and irritating to skin and mucous membranes. Avoid contact with acids, oxides, UV radiation, free radical initiators.

Because it contains both carbon-carbon double bonds and epoxy groups in its molecule, it can carry out both radical reaction and ionic reaction. Therefore, it has high reactivity and is an important fine chemical raw material.

Main Uses:

(1). Mainly used in powder coatings, but also thermosetting coatings, fiber treatment agents, adhesives, antistatic agents, vinyl chloride stabilizers, rubber and resin modifiers, ion exchange resins and printing ink adhesives.

(2). Used as a functional monomer in polymerization reactions. Mainly used in the manufacture of acrylic powder coatings, used as soft monomer and methyl methacrylate and styrene hard monomer copolymerization, can adjust the glass transition temperature and flexibility, improve the gloss of the coating, adhesion and weather resistance. It is also used in the manufacture of acrylic emulsions and nonwoven fabrics. As a functional monomer, it can be used to produce photosensitive resin, ion exchange resin, chelating resin, selective filter membrane for medical use, dental material, anticoagulant, insoluble adsorbent, etc. It is also used to modify polyolefin resins, rubber and synthetic fibers.

(3). Because it contains both carbon-carbon double bonds and epoxy groups in its molecule, it is widely used in the synthesis and modification of polymer materials. Used as reactive diluent for epoxy resins, stabilizer for vinyl chloride, modifier for rubber and resins, ion exchange resins and binder for printing inks. Also used in powder coatings, thermosetting coatings, fiber treatment agents, adhesives, antistatic agents and so on. In addition, GMA has also significantly improved the adhesion, water resistance and solvent resistance of adhesives and nonwoven coatings.

(4). In electronics, it is used for photoresist film, electron ray, protective film, far infrared phase X-ray protective film. In terms of functional polymers, it is used for ion exchange resins, chelating resins, etc. In medical materials, used in anti-blood coagulation materials, dental materials, etc.
