Methacrylic anhydride

Methacrylic Anhydride is a highly reactive methacrylate derivative used as a functional monomer in polymer synthesis and surface modification. Its anhydride group enables rapid esterification and crosslinking, making it valuable for high-performance coatings, adhesives, and functionalized biomaterials. Methacrylic anhydride is also used in UV-curable resins and specialty copolymers requiring enhanced reactivity and adhesion.

Applications:
Coatings & Adhesives: Improves adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance in industrial formulations.
Biomedical & Functionalized Polymers: Enables surface modification for bioactive materials.
UV-Curable Resins: Enhances crosslinking and reactivity in 3D printing and photopolymer applications.
Specialty Acrylics: Used as a reactive intermediate in the production of high-performance acrylic polymers.
