Overview of Allyl Methacrylate
Allyl Methacrylate is a monomer with a high degree of reactiveness that is extensively used for use in Plastic & Rubber Chemicals as the crosslinking agent as well as a polymer modifier and chemical intermediate. It is renowned for its outstanding flexibility, reactivity and compatibility range of resins and polymers.
For those without a technical background, Allyl Methacrylate helps plastics, rubbers, and resins become stronger, more resistant to chemicals, and more stable at high temperatures. It is often added to coatings, adhesives, elastomers, and specialty polymers to make them last longer and perform better.
Allyl Methacrylate is often formulated with chemicals such as Acrylamide, 3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane, and Azodicarbonamide to enhance polymerization, crosslinking, and overall product properties.
