  • Applications

    Phenyl methacrylate (CAS 2177-70-0) is primarily used as a monomer for specialty polymers, notably poly(phenyl methacrylate), which are employed in high-refractive-index and transparent plastic and coating applications. It also serves as a reactive diluent and comonomer in UV-curable coatings and inks, helping formulate hard, clear films with good adhesion. In adhesives, it contributes to the formulation of transparent, chemically resistant bonds and to increased performance in optical or display-related applications. It is used in photoresists and related electronics coatings, where its polymerizable functionality enables patterning and dimensional stability. As a building block in polymer synthesis, it supports the production of specialty plastics and coatings with improved optical and mechanical properties.
