Market prospects of glycidyl methacrylate

Glycidyl methacrylate, also known as GMA, is an important chemical raw material. It is colorless, low toxic, insoluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. It is a flammable liquid, allergic to the skin, specific target organ systemic toxicity, acute toxicity. The product has a wide range of uses and is suitable for various industries, mainly used in industrial fields such as resins, coatings, fibers, medical, rubber, solvents, etc. Glycidyl methacrylate is often stored in closed containers and placed in a dry, cool, and well ventilated environment, away from heat sources.

At present, only a few domestic enterprises can produce by themselves, and most other enterprises are traders. Even if they produce by themselves, their annual output is very limited. For example, in 2020, COVID-19 caused the global price of chemical materials to soar. The most obvious is melt blown cloth, whose price has risen nearly 100 times. With the sales price of masks at the terminal, the price has soared from 0.5 yuan/piece to 50 yuan/piece, and there is still price but no goods.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) combines epoxy groups and double bonds. Copolymerization with acrylic resin or epoxy resin can give acrylic resin the advantages of epoxy resin or epoxy resin the advantages of acrylic resin.

This product can improve the sensitivity, resolution, and corrosion resistance of photosensitive resins. This product can be grafted with polyolefin to improve tensile strength and bending strength. In addition, this product can also be used as a raw material for ion exchange resins, chelating resins, selective filtration membranes, anticoagulants, dental materials, insoluble adsorbents, etc. Also used for rubber modification.
