GMA (Glycidyl Methacrylate) is an ester of Methacrylic Acid and Glycidol. The characteristic of the property of Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is its dual functionality – due to the methacrylic and epoxy groups. This gives it the possibility to combine the chemical properties of acrylates, reacting with styrene, by acrylates or by ethylene, and epoxies. The epoxy group of Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is capable of different chemical transformations both in the monomer and in the polymers.
GMA (Glycidyl Methacrylate) reacts with different substances (amines, phenols, ketones, carbonaceous acids, which contain halogen and others).
GMA (Glycidyl Methacrylate) makes it possible to synthesize many new chemical connections. Small additives of Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) and its derivatives to different polymeric materials improve their mechanical, optical, adhesive characteristics, chemical, and atmospheric durability.
