Lauryl Methacrylate

Lauryl Methacrylate (LMA) is a versatile methacrylate monomer valued for its long alkyl chain, offering flexibility, hydrophobicity, and a low glass transition temperature in various polymer applications. It plays a key role in advanced coatings, adhesives, sealants, and specialty plastics.

What is Lauryl Methacrylate (LMA)

Lauryl Methacryalte (LMA) is an organic compound widely used in the field of polymer chemistry. It belongs to the family of methacrylate esters, which are known for their ability to undergo free radical polymerization. The defining feature of LMA is its long hydrophobic side chain — specifically, a 12-carbon (lauryl or dodecyl) alkyl group — attached to a reactive methacrylate backbone. This structure gives LMA its unique combination of reactivity and flexibility.
