Methyl Acrylate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Propenoic Acid, Methyl Ester
Methyl acrylate supplier for resin, coatings, adhesive and textile binder manufacturers in Malaysia. This page covers methyl acrylate, the methyl ester of acrylic acid, selected by grade and inhibitor requirement.
Inhibited industrial grade and low-inhibitor grade can be requested. The material is a colourless liquid that polymerises readily, so it is supplied with a polymerisation inhibitor unless the process needs otherwise. Inhibitor level and storage conditions both matter for safe holding.
The monomer builds acrylic resins and emulsions for coatings, serves in copolymers for plastics and textile binders, and acts as an intermediate for speciality acrylate derivatives. State the end use and inhibitor requirement so the quoted grade fits the process.
For a methyl acrylate quotation, state inhibited industrial or low-inhibitor grade, the required purity and inhibitor basis, downstream process, quantity and delivery location. The offer confirms compatible packing, documentation and delivery timing. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Methyl Acrylate applications
Safety and handling
Keep methyl acrylate sealed in a cool place away from heat, light and ignition sources. The inhibitor level and storage conditions should be checked for the intended holding period. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about methyl acrylate
What is methyl acrylate used for?
Methyl acrylate is an acrylic monomer. It is polymerised and copolymerised for resins, emulsions, coatings, adhesives and textile binders, and it is used as an intermediate in acrylate chemistry.
Is methyl acrylate the same as methyl methacrylate?
No. They are separate monomers with different structures and properties, so they carry different specifications. Request each under its own name.
Why is methyl acrylate supplied with an inhibitor?
The inhibitor keeps the monomer stable during storage and transport by preventing premature polymerisation. Where a synthesis route is sensitive to the inhibitor, request the low-inhibitor grade and state the requirement with the enquiry.
What specifications should be provided for methyl acrylate?
Include the required purity, inhibitor type and level, quantity and delivery location. Documentation needs such as a certificate of analysis can be requested with the enquiry.
How is methyl acrylate priced for Malaysian buyers?
Inhibited industrial and low-inhibitor grades are priced against their purity and inhibitor specification, quantity, packing and destination. The offer states the validity period for that monomer requirement.
