What can Polymethacrylate be Applied to?

Polymethacrylate, as an excipient, has potential applications in multiple fields due to its unique physicochemical properties.

Pharmaceutical field

Polymethacrylate is often used as a coating material for tablets, capsules, and other pharmaceutical preparations,due to its insolubility in water, it can control the release rate of drugs, achieve slow or targeted drug release, and improve drug efficacy,It can also serve as an adhesive to help shape drug powders better, enhance the hardness and stability of tablets, and prevent tablets from breaking during storage and transportation.

Industrial materials field

In the coatings and ink industry, polymethylmethacrylate can be used as a film-forming substance,by utilizing its solubility in organic solvents, a continuous and uniform thin film can be formed, providing excellent glossiness, hardness, and wear resistance for coatings and inks,In plastic processing, it can be used as a modifier to improve the processing and physical properties of plastics, enhance their flexibility, impact resistance, and heat resistance.

food industry

In food processing, polymethylmethacrylate can be used as a food additive to improve the taste and texture of food, extend its shelf life, and also as an embedding agent to protect functional ingredients in food from oxidation and volatilization.
