Glycidyl methacrylate


Glycidyl methacrylate is an ester of methacrylic acid and glycidol, it is a common monomer used in the creation of epoxy resins. While typical home epoxies contain diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, glycidyl methacrylate is instead used to provide epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins.
