GMA, offered by Dow since the early 1990s, is a high purity, dual functionality monomer combining the chemical resistance of an epoxy with the weatherability of an acrylic. GMA is used in a wide selection of coating and resins applications in the automotive, electronics, civil engineering and industrial sectors.
