MAA (Methyl Acetoacetate)
MAA (99%) is a colorless liquid used as a copromoter in unsaturated polyester resins and an intermediate for agricultural and pharmaceutical chemicals.
MAA (methyl acetoacetate, CAS number 105-45-3) is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula C5H8O3. Methyl acetoacetate is primarily intended to be used as a copromoter for synthesizing unsaturated polyester resins. Acetoacetates can improve adhesion to metal substrates, lower the glass transition temperature, reduce resin viscosity, and cross-link with other polymers. MAA develops desirable hardness more rapidly than resins copromoted with DMA at equivalent treat rates. MAA can also be used as an intermediate for agricultural and pharmaceutical chemicals, and as an intermediate chemical and stabilizer for fragrances. MAA is soluble in water and common organic solvents.
Rapidly achieves desired hardness in unsaturated polyester formulations Colorless liquid Lowers resin viscosity Solubility in water and solvent systems Lowers Tg Cross-linking versatility Improves adhesion for metal coatings Fruity odor
Problems Solved
Slow cure time Yellowing resin High resin viscosity Poor copromoter solubility in water and solvents High Tg Poor resin adhesion to metal Unpleasant odor
