Construction & Infrastructure
Advanced Monomers and Additives for Durable, High-Performance Building Materials
From long-lasting coatings and weather-resistant plastics to fiber-reinforced composites and concrete additives – our specialized acrylates and methacrylates help shape the modern built environment. At WE Chem, we offer key materials such as methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, and maleic anhydride, essential for producing resilient coatings, adhesives, sealants, and polymer-modified construction products. Pigments like chromoxide green ensure color durability in cement and roofing, while reactive diluents such as TPGDA enable advanced UV-curable systems for flooring and infrastructure protection. With consistent purity and proven performance, our building-block chemicals support infrastructure that lasts.
Each acrylate is listed alphabetically below and includes:
-
Full chemical name, abbreviation, and CAS number

chromoxide green
CAS: 1308-38-9
Main Applications: Pigments for Coatings – a stable green pigment used in paints, industrial coatings, and artist’s pigments due to its inertness and weather resistance (e.g. camouflage coatings, roofing granules), Construction Materials – used to color cements, concrete, and ceramics (imparts a green coloration in tiles, glass, and building materials), Plastics – used to color plastics and rubber products where heat stability is required.

maleic anhydride
CAS: 108-31-6
MSA
Main Applications: Polyester Resins & Plastics – a key ingredient in unsaturated polyester resins (for fiberglass composites) and in modifying polymers (e.g. maleated polyolefins as coupling agents for composites), Coatings & Adhesives – used in alkyd and epoxy-resin formulations and as a curing agent or adhesion promoter in certain adhesives and sealants (improves bonding to polyolefins and crosslinking density), Construction Materials – used in making plasticizers, curing agents, and additives for construction products (and in paper sizing and water treatment chemicals). Overall, it’s central to coatings, adhesives, and polymer manufacturing for improved material performance.

methacrylic acid
CAS: 79-41-4
GMAA
Main Applications: High-Performance Coatings (incorporated into automotive, aerospace, and industrial coatings for strong adhesion and chemical/thermal resistance, thanks to its epoxy functionality), Adhesives & Sealants (improves bond strength and durability in construction, automotive, and electronic adhesives/sealants), Plastics (as a comonomer in impact-resistant and compatibilized plastics or composites, e.g. GMA copolymers) and Medical Devices (used to form biocompatible, crosslinkable polymers in dental materials and drug delivery systems)
bulk, IBC, drums, cans
methyl methacrylate
CAS: 80-62-6
MMA
Main Applications: Plastics (Acrylic Glass) – the primary monomer for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) used in clear plastics (plexiglass) for automotive, glazing, and display, Coatings & Road Markings (used in durable, UV-stable coatings such as road paints and industrial finishes), Adhesives & Sealants (formulates structural acrylic adhesives and sealants with strong bonds, used in construction and automotive assembly) and Medical Devices (used in bone cements, dental acrylics, and prosthetic fabrication)
bulk, IBC, drums, cans
tripropylenglykol-diacrylate
CAS: 42978-66-5
TPGDA
Main Applications: Coatings & Inks – Used in UV-curable coatings, inks, and varnishes due to low volatility, good flexibility, and chemical resistance, Adhesives & Sealants – Acts as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in UV adhesives for improved hardness and curing speed, Electronics & 3D Printing – Applied in UV-curing resins for 3D printing or electronics encapsulation, Composites & Construction – Enhances mechanical performance and reduces shrinkage in polymer composites and flooring systems.
