Rohm & H a a s M etkaerylie Acid Improves Adhesion off Copolymers Recent reports in research literature indicate that methacrylic acid gives unusual adhesive strength to copolymers. For example, the copolymers of butadierre and methacrylic acid are excellent rubber-to-steel adhesives. These are desirable for engine vibration mounts and other applications wtiere rubber must be fastened to metallic surfaces. Copolymers of methacrylic acid and other polymerizable products, such as vinyl mono mers and styrene, show promise as tire-cord l o o k to Rohm & Haas for acrylic Methyl acrylate Ethyl a c r y l a t e Butyl acrylate 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate M e t h y l methacrylate Ethyl methacrylate
adhesives, paper finishes, and adhesives for bond ing fibers, paper, wood, and ceramic products. Methacrylic acid improves the emulsion sta bility of copolymers and is an intermediate for water-soluble or alkali-soluble polymers. It is used in the synthesis of methacrylate esters such as glycol dimethacrylates. These proper ties—and the new lower price—may well combine to solve your problem. Why not find out?
