About Methacrylic Acid
About Methacrylic Acid. Methacrylic Acid (a.k.a. MAA) is an organic compound in the carboxylic acid class, a viscous, colorless liquid, with an acrid unpleasant odor. MAA can be found naturally in chamomile oil, and its industrial production began in the 1930s. Currently, it is mainly used as a precursor to its esters, most notably methyl methacrylate (MMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).
Methacrylic Acid Handling. Methacrylic Acid is inhibited with alkylphenols, hydroquinone, or the methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ), prolonging the shelf life of commercial products. It should be stored under an atmosphere containing 5 to 21% oxygen, in temperatures between 20 and 25 °C, and in glass or stainless steel containers. Methacrylic Acid is transported in tank trucks and rail cars in insulated containers. Methacrylic acid is highly flammable (flash point at 68°C) in its liquid and vapor form, so it should be transported and stored away from heat sources in tightly closed containers. Its storage should also be in well ventilated areas.
Methacrylic Acid Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Methacrylic Acid are listed below.
- Propylene + sulfuric acid (C-3 Route, ACH process, acetone cyanohydrin as intermediate),
- Propylene (C-3 Route, Mitsubishi process, acetone cyanohydrin as intermediate),
- Ethylene (C-2 Route, propanal as intermediate),
- Isobutane or isobutylene (C-4 Route, methacrolein as intermediate)
Methacrylic Acid Uses. The uses and applications of Methacrylic Acid may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Methacrylic Acid are pure/glacial grade (99% minimum purity); crude monomer grade (85% minimum purity); and 40% aqueous solution.
