The global demand for methyl methacrylate (MMA) will grow by an average of 3.2% a year by 2008
According to UK-based market research firm Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd., the producers of polymthylmethacrylate (PMMA) will demonstrate the largest demand for MMA.
Thus, PMMA sector accounts for 33% of MMA consumption. MMA is also applied in the manufacture of coatings, inks, and adhesives.
The demand for PMMA in Europe is forecast to grow by an average of 2.5% a year.
PMMA consumption structure in Russia fluctuates and depends from both deterioration level of processing facilities and economical state of PMMA-consuming sectors.
The Russian market currently offers two types of PMMA products: (i) methacrylic injection-moulded polymers of Dacryl grade; (ii) organic sheet glass (extrusion or block-like). However, foreign producers of organic glass will thrive on the Russian market where local construction and technical-grade organic glass has to tackle sales issues. Russia produces insufficient volume of high-quality organic glass for the aerospace sector.
Methacrylic acid and its derivatives are used to produce vital polymer products.
Methacrylic acid is used to produce rubbers, triplex glass, ion-exchange resins; methacrylic acid salts act as emulsifiers.
