Methacrylic Acid, 99.9%

Methacrylic Acid, 99.9%

CAS Number: 79-41-4

High purity monomer for contact lens applications.

High purity carboxylated monomers increase the hydrophilicity in polymers and provide crosslinking sites for divalent ions (e.g. Zn++).

Polysciences, Inc. offers both methacrylic acid in high purity (99.9%) and a longer chain analog, Beta-Carboxyethyl acrylate, (99%)
