Specialty methacrylate is a salt or ester of methacrylic acid, which is used in the manufacture of certain plastics. It is used as specialty chemical in applications such as coatings, inks, paints, and adhesives. It is also used to enhance compatibility, impact modification, flexibility, and heat resistance capacity as a chemical intermediate. Methacrylate refers to derivatives of methacrylic acid. These derivatives include the parent acid (CH2C (CH3) CO2H), salts (e.g. CH2C (CH3) CO2?Na+), esters (e.g. CH2C (CH3) CO2CH3, or methyl methacrylate), and polymers of these species. Methacrylates easily form polymers, as the double bonds are very reactive.
