METHACRYLIC ACID FOR SYNTHESIS
SKU: RXSOL-60-6604-950
Methacrylic acid was synthesized from the biobased substrates citric acid, itaconic acid, and 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid (2-HIBA). Hydrotalcite, a solid base catalyst, was employed to form methacrylic acid (MAA) through decarboxylation of itaconic acid and citric acid.
Application
Methacrylic Acid is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It is used in making plastic sheets, moldings, fibers, resins, and other organic chemicals. * Methacrylic Acid is on the Hazardous Substance List because it is cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH and NFPA.
