METHYLACRYLIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl acrylic acid, also known as methacrylic acid, is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula C₄H₆O₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a monomer in the production of methacrylate resins and polymers, which are used in coatings, adhesives, and plastics. Methyl acrylic acid is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals and in the manufacture of ion exchange resins. Despite its utility, methyl acrylic acid can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure.
