Glacial Methacrylic Acid Market Explores New Growth Opportunities By 2016-2026
Verfasser: pradnya_86 on Friday, 5 May 2017Methacrylic acid is an organic compound largely used as a precursor in the production of esters. Glacial methacrylic acid is a refined grade of methacrylic acid and comprises of monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (as inhibitor). Glacial methacrylic acid is available in the form of clear as well as colourless liquid. It is used as an intermediate in the production of methacrylic acid esters, which is further used in the production of wide range of plastic products. Glacial methacrylic acid is also used in the production of polymers and also as an additive in specialty esters. They exhibit properties such as clarity and good weatherability. Glacial methacrylic acid polymerizes very easily, and is used in the production of copolymers and homopolymers. When glacial methacrylic acid is incorporated into copolymers, it reduces the hardness by lowering the softening temperature. The global glacial methacrylic acid market is expected to increase at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period.
