2-Methyl-2-propenoic acid cyclohexyl ester（Cat No.:M068949）, also known as cyclohexyl methacrylate (CHMA), is an organic ester derived from methacrylic acid and cyclohexanol. It is a colorless liquid with low volatility and a mild odor, used primarily as a monomer in the production of polymers and copolymers. CHMA imparts flexibility, hydrophobicity, and chemical resistance to coatings, adhesives, sealants, and plastics. Its bulky cyclohexyl group contributes to improved thermal and UV stability in finished materials. CHMA is also utilized in specialty acrylic formulations for optical, automotive, and industrial applications. Proper handling is necessary due to its skin-sensitizing potential.
