Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- GMA
- 2,3-Epoxypropyl Methacrylate
- Glycidyl 2-Methylpropenoate
Glycidyl methacrylate supplier for coatings, adhesives, resin and functional polymer buyers in Malaysia. Also called GMA or 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate, it is a reactive monomer with a methacrylate double bond and an epoxide group, identified by CAS 106-91-2 and formula C7H10O3.
Inhibited technical grade covers general resin and coating work. Polymer grade is selected when the reactor recipe controls the inhibitor range, while high-purity GMA is requested for tighter colour, water, acidity or residual impurity limits. The offered grade and stabiliser information are confirmed with the quotation.
Acrylic, adhesive and surface-treatment formulators use GMA to add an epoxy-reactive site to a polymer chain or coating system. It is distinct from methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid, and the epoxide functionality is the reason the monomer is chosen for grafting, adhesion or compatibility work.
Send the grade, inhibitor requirement, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement, with pricing supplied for a stated validity period.

Glycidyl Methacrylate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inhibited technical-grade glycidyl methacrylate | clear, inhibited reactive liquid | — | Reactive monomer in acrylic resins, coatings, adhesives and polymer modification where an epoxy-functional methacrylate is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Polymer grade GMA with specified inhibitor level | clear, inhibited reactive liquid | — | Copolymerisation or grafting where the reactor recipe has a defined stabiliser range and the epoxide group must remain available for reaction. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity glycidyl methacrylate | clear, low-colour inhibited liquid | — | Surface treatment, specialty resin and functional polymer work where tighter colour, water, acid and residual impurity controls are required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Glycidyl Methacrylate applications
Safety and handling
Keep the inhibited monomer sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, direct light, initiators, peroxides and strong oxidisers. Storage temperature, shelf life and inhibitor condition are confirmed from the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about glycidyl methacrylate
Are glycidyl methacrylate and GMA the same product?
Yes. GMA is the common abbreviation for glycidyl methacrylate, also called 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate or glycidyl 2-methylpropenoate, CAS 106-91-2. State the full name or CAS when requesting a quotation for the monomer.
What makes glycidyl methacrylate different from methyl methacrylate?
Glycidyl methacrylate contains both a polymerisable methacrylate group and a reactive epoxide group. Methyl methacrylate has a different ester and does not provide that epoxide functionality, so the two are separate monomers with separate specifications.
Why is glycidyl methacrylate supplied inhibited?
The methacrylate double bond can polymerise during storage or handling, so commercial material is stabilised to control premature reaction. Give the inhibitor type or range in the enquiry when the reactor or formulation has a defined stabiliser requirement.
What is glycidyl methacrylate used for?
Buyers use GMA as a reactive monomer in acrylic coatings, adhesives, specialty resins, functional polymers and surface modification. It is also used in selected latex and rubber routes where an epoxy-reactive site improves grafting, adhesion or compatibility.
What specifications should a buyer provide for GMA?
State purity, water, acidity, colour, residual impurity and inhibitor limits where they matter, together with the polymer or coating system. The quoted grade can then be checked against the reaction and storage requirements.
How do I request a glycidyl methacrylate price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, inhibitor requirement, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Add preferred packing and documentation needs so the quotation can address the complete requirement and validity.
