Usage:Organic synthesis, preparation of electron microscopic embedding media, adhesives for plastics and optical glass, emulsifiers for textile, leather shoes and paper making, solvents for coatings, petroleum additives. Used as a soft monomer in the manufacture of acrylate solvent-based and emulsion adhesives. Its low viscosity polymers can be used as special coatings, paper and leather processing AIDS, fiber treatment agents, metal surface treatment agents, etc. Polybutyl methacrylate prepared by this product is a transparent elastic substance, which is widely used as the interlayer of aircraft cockpit safety glass and automobile bulletproof glass, and is also used as precision radio equipment. It can also be copolymerized with a series of unsaturated esters and acids to produce materials for various purposes. It is mainly used in the manufacture of acrylate polymers and copolymers. It is used in the manufacture of bulletproof glass and precision radio equipment and is used as an oil additive in the petroleum industry. Used in organic synthesis, plastic, optical glass binder, textile, leather and paper additives.
