Methyl Methacrylate Monomer
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is the methyl ester of methacrylic acid, a clear, volatile liquid used primarily in the production of acrylic polymers and resins. It falls under HTS 2916.14.20 as an 'other' ester of methacrylic acid, being an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid derivative. This chemically defined organic compound is essential for manufacturing PMMA plastics like Plexiglas.
Ethyl Methacrylate
Ethyl methacrylate is an ester of methacrylic acid used in coatings, adhesives, and specialty resins. As an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester, it qualifies under HTS 2916.14.20 'other' category per Chapter 29 note on ester classification by numerical order. The compound remains chemically defined without impurities affecting its primary classification.
Butyl Methacrylate
Butyl methacrylate, the butyl ester of methacrylic acid, serves as a reactive diluent in radiation-curable coatings and printing inks. It classifies under HTS 2916.14.20 as an 'other' methacrylic acid ester, adhering to Chapter 29 rules for unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid derivatives. Its low volatility makes it suitable for industrial formulations.
