METHYL METHACRYLATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl methacrylate is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula C₅H₈O₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a monomer in the production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plastics, which are used in coatings, adhesives, and optical applications. Methyl methacrylate is also used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. Despite its utility, methyl methacrylate is highly flammable and poses significant health risks if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage.
