Application

2-Methoxyethyl Methacrylate (stabilized with MEHQ) is primarily used in the synthesis of copolymers with styrene, offering versatility in polymer production. This monomer is vital for creating poly(2-methoxyethyl methacrylate) (PMEMA) polymers, which have unique thermal decomposition properties, decomposing predominantly through depolymerization to regenerate the monomer, with minor secondary reactions producing trace volatile compounds. This makes it an essential component in developing materials that require controlled decomposition processes at elevated temperatures.
