[Chemical Knowledge]:What are the upstream raw materials for methyl methacrylate? What do the downstream products contain?

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in the production of various polymer materials and fine chemicals. In the field of chemical production raw materials, the upstream and downstream related products of methyl methacrylate are very rich. This article will detail the upstream and downstream related products of methyl methacrylate.

1. upstream associated products

1. Propylene: Propylene is one of the main raw materials of methyl methacrylate, through the oxidation reaction to produce methacrylic acid, and then esterified with methanol to produce methyl methacrylate.
2. Methanol: Methanol is another important raw material in the production process of methyl methacrylate, which is esterified with methacrylic acid to produce methyl methacrylate.
3. Initiator: In the process of producing methyl methacrylate, it is necessary to use an initiator to initiate the polymerization of monomers. Commonly used initiators are benzoyl peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, etc.

2. downstream related products

1. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA): Polymethyl methacrylate is a transparent plexiglass, with high transparency, high hardness, good weather resistance and other advantages, widely used in construction, automotive, electronic appliances, medical equipment and other fields.
2. Surface coating: methyl methacrylate can be used as the basic monomer of the coating, and other monomers to produce a variety of high-performance coatings, used in construction, automotive, furniture and other fields.
3. Adhesive: methyl methacrylate can be used as the basic monomer of the adhesive, and other monomers can be copolymerized to produce a variety of high-performance adhesives for wood processing, construction, footwear and other fields.
4. ion exchange resin: methyl methacrylate can be copolymerized with other monomers to generate ion exchange resin, used in water treatment, chemical separation and other fields.

In short, methyl methacrylate is an important organic chemical raw material, and its upstream and downstream related products are very extensive, involving the production of various polymer materials and fine chemicals.
