Methacrylamide
Methacrylamide is a functional monomer with three functional groups—vinyl, methyl, and amide—in one molecule and is used as a modifier for acrylic emulsion, fiber treatment agent, methyl methacrylate resin, and in latex production.
Methacrylamide is an important intermediate in the production of methacrylic acid esters for plastics and plastic additives.
Methacrylamide is used as a raw material in the production of chemicals for industrial and professional use such as textile treatment agents, paper-strengthening agents (pulp and paper), Flocculants, fine chemicals, formulations, building and construction work, paints-lacquers-varnishes industries, electricity, steam, gas, water supply, and sewage treatment.
