Ethyl Methacrylate
We are a distributor of the product Ethyl Methacrylate for Eastern and Western Europe, but with excellent opportunities for export outside of Europe.
Description and uses
Some examples on the use of EMA:
- resins and dispersions for paints, varnishes and inks
- aqueous dispersions for textiles and leather
- plastics and synthetic resins (acrylic sheets)
- synthetic rubbers and lattices
EMA is also used for oil additives as well as in the fields of medicine and dentistry to make prosthetic devices and as a ceramic filler or cement.
EMA is a reactive monomer and can readily be polymerized with itself or with other monomers to form thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. It's polymers have a wide range of properties and applications. Acrylic polymers can be produced by bulk, solution, emulsion, or suspension polymerization in the form of sheets, films, foams, molding pellets, powders, lattices, and solutions.
Artificial / false nail applications:
EMA is perfectly suitable as an ingredient for artificial /false nails. Previously Methyl Methacrylate was used. MMA in its liquid form has been banned for use in the nail industry due to the severity of allergic reaction and damage to the natural nail plate. It adheres so tightly to the nail plate that it can literally rip the nail plate from the nail bed due to heavy pressure from a blow or trauma to the nail. MMA is so hard that it cannot be safely removed from the nail plate by soaking in any form of remover - it must be filed from the nail plate with a heavy abrasive. EMA can be safely soaked from the nail plate for complete removal. EMA is a 'flexible' monomer.
We also offer a related product: 2-Hydroxy Ethyl Methacrylate (HEMA): HEMA is a protein specific monomer that will seek out and firmly attach itself to the protein in the nail plate. HEMA is used as an additive to improve adhesion.

Remarks
Ethyl Methacrylate
Ethyl methacrylate monomer (EMA) is an ester of methacrylic acid. EMA is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic odor, slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents.
