iso-Decyl Methacrylate (IDMA) is an ester of Methacrylic Acid and is used as a raw material component in the synthesis of polymers. iso-Decyl Methacrylate (IDMA) is a hydrophobic monofunctional methacrylate monomer consisting of a methacrylate group with a characteristic high reactivity and a cyclic hydrophobic group. iso-Decyl Methacrylate (IDMA) forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of iso-Decyl Methacrylate (IDMA) can be prepared with (meth)acrylic acid and its salts, amides, and esters, and with (meth)acrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc.
iso-Decyl Methacrylate (IDMA) is iso-Decyl Methacrylate (IDMA) is also a very useful feedstock for chemical syntheses because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.
