China and Germany are the leading exporters of ethyl methacrylate (CAS 97-63-2), collectively accounting for over 40% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, South Korea, and Japan represent the largest importing markets. Ethyl methacrylate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows, with minor regional fluctuations tied to feedstock costs and demand from coatings and adhesives sectors. Export volumes from China increased modestly year-on-year through 2024, while German exports held steady, reflecting continued dominance by these two suppliers amid consistent import demand from East Asia and North America.
Ethyl methacrylate is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic sharp, fruity odor. It is an α,β-unsaturated ester and belongs to the class of reactive organic monomers. With a boiling point of approximately 163 °C and moderate water solubility, it readily undergoes free-radical polymerization. It is primarily used as a comonomer in acrylic resins and copolymers for coatings, adhesives, and impact-modified plastics. Key application areas include automotive and industrial coatings, architectural paints, textile finishes, and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Ethyl methacrylate can be manufactured via a reaction ofmethacrylic acid or methyl acrylate with ethanol. It is used primarily for manufacturing polymers and as a component ofacrylic polymers for surface coatings and as a structuralmonomer for some artificial fingernail formulations.
