Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA) CAS 97-63-2：Specialty methacrylate resin

Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA) CAS 97-63-2 stands as a cornerstone monomer, powering innovation across coatings, adhesives, medical devices, and polymer synthesis. BLi-T (Hefei) Chemical Co., Ltd.—a leading global supplier of industrial grade EMA—delivers consistent, high-purity solutions (≥99.5% purity, <0.1% water content) tailored to meet strict international standards (ISO 9001, SGS). Let’s discuss EMA’s unique value, core applications, and why BLi-T is a trusted partner for companies seeking to improve product quality, reduce costs, and achieve global scale.

1.  Properties of Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA)

EMA (CAS 97-63-2) is distinguished by its versatile molecular structure (an activated carbon-carbon double bond paired with an ester functional group), which provides excellent polymerization and modification properties, as well as compatibility with other materials. EMA’s key advantages as a monomer include:

• Excellent flexibility: Enhances the ductility of polymers and coatings, preventing them from becoming brittle under extreme temperatures.

• Strong adhesion: Improves the bond strength of adhesives and sealants to metals, plastics, and composites.

• Biocompatibility: Meets pharmaceutical standards for medical devices (e.g., dental restorations, drug-eluting stents).

• Weatherability: Enhances the UV and moisture resistance of architectural and automotive coatings, extending product life.

• Stable performance: BLi-T Chemical’s EMA undergoes rigorous SGS testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, eliminating production delays due to substandard material quality.

2. Key Applications

BLi-T Chemical’s continuous production of EMA, combined with a DCS production control system, ensures consistent quality, high purity, and high yield. The following are real-world application examples:

2.1 Coatings and Paints Industry

Application Requirement: A long-lasting, glossy finish that resists fading, scratching, and weathering.

EMA Solution: BLi-T EMA maintains a mirror-like gloss for over five years in automotive topcoats (compared to only two to three years with lower-grade EMA). In architectural coatings, it reduces chalking and flaking, even in tropical or arid climates.

Customer Results: A paint manufacturer in Qatar, after initial quality communication with our factory, saw a 30% increase in customer retention after switching to BLi-T Chemical EMA, thanks to a 15-year weathering guarantee for their exterior paints.

2.2 Adhesives and Sealants

Application Requirement: A flexible, durable bond that withstands temperature fluctuations and chemical attack. •EMA Solution: BLi-T Chemical’s EMA can lower the melting point of hot-melt adhesives by 15-20°C, reducing energy consumption during production. In pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), it can adjust initial tack and cohesion, ensuring labels and tapes maintain adhesion for over 10 years in outdoor or industrial environments.

Customer Results: A Malaysian packaging company reduced production costs by 12% and increased bond strength by 25% by incorporating BLi-T’s EMA ethyl methacrylate, used in structural sealants, into its PSA formulation.

2.3 Polymer Synthesis

Application Needs: Transparent, durable polymers for optics, packaging, and consumer products.

EMA Solution: BLi-T’s EMA can be copolymerized with styrene or methyl methacrylate (MMA) to create customized polymers. For example, EMA-MMA copolymers are used in transparent food packaging (oil and moisture resistance), optical lenses (high light transmittance, ≥92%), and nail polish formulations. •Customer Success: A Southeast Asian plastics manufacturer used BLi-T’s EMA to launch a line of shatter-resistant food containers and captured 18% of the regional market share within six months.

There are also customers who make nail polish in the United States. They have used our EMA and received very good feedback from local nail art customers.

3. Safety, Compliance, and Logistics: BLi-T Chemical’s Global Advantage

Sourcing hazardous chemicals like EMA requires a partner that prioritizes safety and compliance. BLi-T Chemical has over a decade of export experience. Combined with our supply chain infrastructure, we ensure smooth export delivery via sea or land transport.

3.1 Safety and Compliance

GHS-Compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS): A detailed Safety Data Sheet (SDS) outlines handling, storage, and emergency procedures (e.g., use dry powder/CO2 for fire extinguishing, not water). • Stabilized Formulation: All EMAs are pre-stabilized with hydroquinone (our stabilizers can be customized to your specifications, such as adding 50 PPM of MEHQ to prevent polymerization during storage (shelf life: 12 months at ≤30°C).

Export Procedures: Since EMA is a Class III dangerous good and a flammable liquid, we select packaging suitable for international transport when exporting it. We also file a dangerous goods declaration in accordance with customs requirements to ensure export compliance.

3.2 Flexible Packaging and Fast Logistics

Packaging Options: 180 kg export-compliant drums, 1000 liter IBC cans (and custom bulk containers).

Global Delivery: BLi-T is conveniently located near the Port of Shanghai and can deliver to over 50 countries/regions. Delivery options are as follows:

7-10 day shipping to Asia (Japan, South Korea, Singapore).

14-30 day shipping to Europe (Germany, France, UK) and North America (USA, Canada).
