Merck, 246840-500G, Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate

Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) belongs to the class of monomers known as methacrylates. It is used in the synthesis of various TMPTMA-based polymers, which are widely used in the dental industry. They are often incorporated into dental composites and resin materials due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. These polymers provide durability and resistance to wear, making them suitable for dental fillings, crowns, and other dental materials. TMPTMA-based polymers are also used in various applications, which include, coatings and adhesives, UV-curable materials, optical materials, and microelectronics. Additionally, TMPTMA is also used as a crosslinking agent and it has excellent hardness making it a suitable choice for adhesive applications.
