Detailed introduction

2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate Product Introduction

A colorless, transparent, and easily flowing liquid. Soluble in common organic solvents. Miscible with water. GMA monomeric system is a white, watery, viscous substance, thinner than water, and penetrates more easily than any resin or monomer. Particularly useful for working with bone, cartilage, and difficult-to-penetrate plant tissues.
