PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) (CAS 80-62-6) is a synthetic chemical extensively used in dental, medical, and industrial applications. It is an organic compound with the formula CH2=C(CH3)COOCH3, appearing as a colorless liquid. MMA is primarily found in the air due to its use, transport, and bulk storage, though it is not known to contribute significantly to ozone depletion. The compound is rapidly absorbed and distributed in the body following inhalation or oral administration. It targets mitochondria, uncoupling the respiratory chain, and generally exhibits low acute toxicity. However, MMA can be a mild skin irritant in humans and is not classified as a carcinogenic agent. MMA is widely used in the production of plastics due to its versatile properties.
