China and Germany are the leading exporters of butyl methacrylate (CAS 97-88-1), collectively accounting for a substantial share of global shipments, while the United States, South Korea, and India are among the top importers. Butyl methacrylate prices have remained relatively stable amid moderate demand growth from coatings and adhesives sectors. Export volumes from China have increased steadily since 2022, while European exports—particularly from Germany—have shown resilience despite regional regulatory tightening.
Butyl methacrylate is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic sharp, fruity odor and moderate volatility. It is an unsaturated aliphatic ester and a reactive monomer belonging to the methacrylate family. Industrially, it serves primarily as a comonomer in free-radical polymerization processes, where its incorporation imparts flexibility, adhesion, and weather resistance to acrylic polymers. It is widely used in the production of water-based and solvent-based acrylic resins for architectural and industrial coatings, automotive finishes, adhesives, and textile and leather finishes.
Monomer for resins, solvent coatings, adhe-sives, oil additives; emulsions for textiles, leather,and paper finishing.
