Isobutyl Methacrylate

Isobutyl Methacrylate (IBMA), identified by CAS 97-86-9, is a high-performance methacrylate ester used primarily as a monomer in the production of acrylic resins and polymers. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic ester odor.

IBMA is valued for its ability to impart a balance of hardness and flexibility to polymers. Compared to methyl methacrylate, it provides better water resistance and improved solubility in organic solvents. Our product is manufactured to an exceptional purity of 99.8%, with strictly controlled levels of acidity and moisture, making it a critical raw material for automotive coatings, adhesives, and specialized plastics.
