MMA-Monomer is manufactured by oxidation
of isobutylene. The process does not use any toxic raw material and
does not produce waste acid by-products, thus is environment-friendly.
Applications include cast sheets, plastic modifier, emulsions for
paints/adhesives, etc.
Our plants were constructed based on Sumitomo Chemical's innovative
technology and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. In addition,
it is a safe and reliable process that does not utilize any highly
toxic raw materials. It is also capable of producing monomers that
are suitable for optical grade polymers. The flow chart below summarizes
the production process. |
