Reliability and Quality Built on Integrated Development: Kuraray's Methacrylic Acid and MMA

Kuraray has been manufacturing methyl methacrylate (MMA), a raw material for resin, since 1959 as part of its integrated methacrylic resin business from upstream to downstream.

MAA (methacrylic acid) is a type of unsaturated carboxylic acid and is produced by hydrolyzing intermediates in the MMA production process.

MAA is used as a raw material for various esters, lubricant additives, and concrete admixtures.
