What is 2-Methoxyethyl acrylate?

Description

2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate (MTA) is a specialty monomer for synthesizing specific polymers in the coatings, paint, adhesive, and plastic market segments. Polymers containing MTA have improved bendability, flexibility at lower temperatures, UV resistance, water resistance, and adhesion. It improves oil resistance due to its polarity when used as an additive.

Chemical properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid
