Documented Uses

• Used as monomer for acrylic polymers; May find uses in waterproofing concrete, such as highway bridge decks; [HSDB]
• Plastic Composites Manufacturing [Category: Industry]
• Concrete can also be made water-repellent by the polymerization of vinyl monomers on the surface. A treatment that may be practical for highway bridge decks is the application of methyl methacrylate, isodecyl methacrylate, or isobutyl methacrylate.
• ACID CATALYZED ESTERFICATION OF METHACRYLIC ACID WITH ISODECANOL; TRANSESTERIFICATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE WITH ISODECANOL IN PRESENCE OF CATALYST
• The methacrylates can be synthesized by catalytic oxidation of isobutylene and subsequent esterification with the appropriate alcohol, or by reacting acetone with hydrocyanic acid and subsequent esterification in sulfuric acid with the appropriate alcohol. /Methacrylic esters/
