Glycidyl Methacrylate/GMA/CAS:106-91-2
Description:
Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is a clear, colorless liquid with a potent ester and fruity odor. It comprises a polymerizable methacrylate functional group on one end and a reactive epoxy group on the other. It is slightly miscible with water, soluble in most organic solvents, and has relatively low volatility. Its vapor is heavier than air. It copolymerizes readily with various functional groups, such as phenols, ketones, acids, and amines. The added epoxy group imparts durability, mechanical strength, optical transparency, and adhesiveness.

Usage
Usage:
Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a common monomer used in the creation of epoxy resins. It is used to provide epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins.
Glycidyl methacrylate is used in the production of polymer coatings and finishes, adhesives, plastics and elastomers.
Glycidyl methacrylate dextran has been reported to be used as a biocompatible hydrogel. In situ polymerization of GMA with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate to form macroporous sorbents has also been reported. GMA may also be grafted onto polypropylene.
Glycidyl methacrylate is commonly used as a monomer for the preparation of epoxy resins. It is also used to provide epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins. Further, it is also useful as an epoxy resin additive for paint coating formulations and adhesive applications.
