Glycidyl methacrylate is commonly used as a monomer for the preparation of epoxy resins. It is also used to provide epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins. Further, it is also useful as an epoxy resin additive for paint coating formulations and adhesive applications.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
