Methyl Acetoacetate CAS: 105-45-3

Methyl acetoacetate, abbreviated MAA, is a colorless liquid that exists under ambient pH conditions. It is the conjugate of the weak acid methylacetic acid, or acetoacetic acid.

MAA is most commonly used as a copromotor for unsaturated polyester resins. They work best for MEKP-initiated systems, and function by coordinating to a cobalt promotor (available from our driers line). MAA doesn’t contain a nitrogen group, unlike many other copromotors, so will not leave behind a brownish color after curing.

Methyl acetoacetate can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, in pesticides, or as a solvent for fragrances in the cosmetics and personal care industry.
