The role of Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA)

The role of Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA)

Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is an important basic chemical with excellent chemical properties and a wide range of uses. The following are some of its main applications:

In terms of coatings, the addition of GMA can improve the hardness, gloss, adhesion and weather resistance of the coating film. Therefore, it is often used in acrylic coatings, acrylic ester coatings, alkyd resin coatings, vinyl chloride resins and some water-based coatings.

GMA is also used in the fields of adhesives and non-woven fabrics. For example, when used in acrylic emulsions, it can improve the adhesion to metals, glass, cement, polyvinyl fluoride, etc. For non-woven fabrics of synthetic latex, GMA can improve its washability without affecting the feel.

In the processing of synthetic resin materials, GMA can improve its injection molding and extrusion molding, and significantly enhance the adhesion between resin and metal.

For synthetic fibers, especially for fibers with poor dyeing effects, GMA can improve their tinting strength, improve color fastness, and enhance anti-wrinkle and anti-shrinkage capabilities.

GMA can also improve the sensitivity, resolution and corrosion resistance of photosensitive resins. In addition, it can improve tensile strength and bending strength when grafted with polyolefins.

GMA can also be used as a raw material for ion exchange resins, chelating resins, medical selective filtration membranes, anticoagulants, dental materials, solvent-free adsorbents, etc.

GMA is also used for rubber modification.

In general, glycidyl methacrylate has a wide range of uses, covering coatings, adhesives, non-woven fabrics, synthetic resins, synthetic fibers, photosensitive resins, rubber and other fields.
