Isopropyl Methacrylate from China
Isopropyl methacrylate is a branched-chain ester of methacrylic acid used in specialty resins and contact lens materials. Falls under 'other' methacrylic esters in HTS 2916.14.20.50 due to its acyclic unsaturated structure. Provides lower viscosity than n-propyl analog for formulation flexibility.
