Dimethylacrylamide (DMA)

Dimethylacrylamide (DMA) is a chemical compound used in various applications, particularly in the production of polymers and copolymers. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. DMA is valued for its versatility in polymerization reactions, where it serves as a monomer to create polymers with desirable properties such as flexibility, toughness, and resistance to chemicals and heat. It is commonly used in the production of polyacrylamide-based polymers. DMA is also employed in the production of personal care products such as hair styling gels, hair sprays, and skin care formulations. It functions as a film-forming agent, rheology modifier, and binder in these products, providing hold, texture, and stability.
