Ethyl methacrylate is used to prepare copolymers of EMA on waxy maize starch and hydroxypropylstarch, potential application of these copolymers are as excipients for compressed non-disintegrating matrix tablets. It is also used to study reactions of n-butyl acrylate and EMA with ozone in the gas phase.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
