Merck, 496758-500ML, Bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate

Bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate (BMEP) is a hydrophilic monomer with two polymerizable methacrylate groups and a centrally placed phosphate group. In presence of an acid, it can undergo spontaneous polymerization with a high degree of conversion. It is widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of poly (BMEP), dental resins, hydrogels, and fire-retardant polymer composites.
