3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexyl methacrylate (TMCHMA)

3,3,5-Trimethyl cyclohexyl methacrylate (TMCHMA) is a chemical compound that falls under the category of methacrylate esters. It is used in the formulation of coatings for various substrates such as metals, plastics, and wood. It can enhance adhesion, chemical resistance, and weatherability of coatings, making them suitable for outdoor applications. In adhesive formulations, TMCHMA acts as a crosslinking agent, improving the bonding strength and durability of adhesives.
