Röhm Methacrylates: Market Edge in Specialties and Standard Products

With its specialty products, the Business Unit Methacrylates has acquired a clear edge over its competitors in many future-oriented markets and applications.

The Business Unit Methacrylates offers Methacrylic Monomers and Molding Compounds, and is the leading global player in these fields. Methacrylic Monomers are used to manufacture synthetic resins which act as binders in weather-resistant paints and lacquers. Methylmethacrylate is used in large quantities as a preliminary product for manufacturing acrylic (PLEXIGLAS^®).


Also, they are employed in solvent-free coatings, for example, which make it possible to unite old and new coats of paint. However, they also improve the properties of structural adhesives, hair-care products and contact lenses.

The Business Line Molding Compounds offers a complete range of standard, impact-modified and special PLEXIGLAS^® molding compounds for traffic engineering, the construction and lighting industry, domestic appliances and office equipment, medical technology, optics, electronics and communications technology.
