Product Application of Butyl Methacrylate CAS#97-88-1
n-Butyl methacrylate is employed as a monomer in the production of resins, solvent-based coatings, adhesives, oil additives, and emulsions. These emulsions are specifically used for finishing textiles, leather, and paper; it also plays a role in manufacturing contact lenses.
It further finds application in dental resins, oil-dispersible pesticides, and acrylic surface coatings. Additionally, it is used as a component in copolymers, such as those present in paraffin embedding media.
