Methyl methacrylate (MMA, CAS 80-62-6) is a transparent, colorless, volatile liquid with a strong fruity aroma. It is primarily used as a monomer in the production of acrylic plastics (PMMA). MMA has a boiling point of 101°C, a melting point of -48°C, and a density of approximately 0.94 g/mL. It is flammable (flash point 10°C), slightly soluble in water, and may undergo a violent polymerization reaction without proper stabilization.
