1,4-Butanediol dimethacrylate (BDDMA)

1,4-Butanediol dimethacrylate (BDDMA) belongs to the dimethacrylate ester family. It is derived from 1,4-butanediol and is characterized by having two methacrylate functional groups. BDDMA is commonly used as a crosslinking agent and a monomer in the production of polymers and copolymers, particularly in the dental and adhesive industries. Its chemical structure makes it highly reactive and suitable for polymerization processes, contributing to the development of materials with desirable mechanical properties and chemical resistance.
