Zinc methacrylate (ZDMA), also known as zinc dimethacrylate and 2-methacrylic acid zinc salt, has a chemical formula of C8H10O4Zn. Its structure contains double bonds and ionic bonds and has good compatibility with polar rubber. Used as rubber heat-resistant filler and vulcanizing agent. Zinc methacrylate appears as white or light yellow powder, has a slightly acidic smell, and is oil-resistant, acid-alkali-resistant, and high-temperature resistant. It is widely used in the chemical industry.

The saponification method is a conventional synthesis process of zinc methacrylate. This method uses methacrylic acid or acrylic acid as raw materials, and mixes it with potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide aqueous solution under heating conditions. After saponification, cooling, metathesis and other processes, the final product is made. Obtain zinc methacrylate. Although the saponification method is widely used in the production of zinc methacrylate, it has problems such as environmental pollution, low production efficiency, and poor quality of finished products. In recent years, many companies and related scientific research institutions have continuously strengthened technology research and development and improved production processes, driving the continuous improvement of the quality of zinc methacrylate in my country.

According to the “2023-2027 Zinc Methacrylate (ZDMA) Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 shows that zinc methacrylate is mainly used as a heat-resistant rubber additive and vulcanizing agent, and synthetic rubber is its main application field. As one of the three major synthetic materials, synthetic rubber has the advantages of heat resistance, cold resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and can be used as raw materials for automobile tires, wires and cables, sealing strips and other products. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s synthetic rubber output reached 8.117 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%. Driven by market demand, the development space of my country’s zinc methacrylate industry continues to expand.

The global zinc methacrylate market is concentrated in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries. The main players include TOTAL Cray Valley, Sigma-Aldrich, Nippon, DuPont of the United States, etc. Currently, the United States dominates the global zinc methacrylate market.

The main players in my country’s zinc methacrylate market include Nanjing Nengde New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Rishengchang New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Qianshi Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Hubei Qifei Pharmaceutical Chemical Co., Ltd., and Suzhou Wolson Biotechnology. Ltd. etc. my country’s zinc methacrylate market is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with low industry concentration and relatively scattered market competition.

Industry analysts said that as a rubber additive with excellent performance, zinc methacrylate is widely used in the production process of synthetic rubber. With the rapid development of downstream industries such as automobile tires and wires and cables, the market size of zinc methacrylate will further expand. In recent years, local companies and scientific research institutions have continuously improved production technology, promoting the continuous improvement of the quality and production of zinc methacrylate in my country. It is expected that companies with environmentally friendly zinc methacrylate production technology will occupy a larger share of the market in the future.
