Nordmann (MMA) Methyl methacrylate is a clear, colorless liquid monomer widely used in acrylic resins, plastics, adhesives, and coatings for its excellent optical clarity and durability. It is stabilized with 100ppm MEHQ to prevent premature polymerization. This chemical has a CAS number of 80-62-6, a molecular formula of CH2=C(CH3)COOCH3, and a molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol. It must be stored between 2 to 8°C and handled with caution, as it carries a Danger signal word, chiefly because it is a highly flammable liquid and vapour, and it can also cause skin irritation, allergic skin reactions and respiratory irritation. Molekula supplies Nordmann (MMA) from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.

This substance is available from Molekula on enquiry. Full specification, Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis documentation are provided with your quotation once our team confirms the grade and pack size you need.
