Polymethylmethacrylate consumption structure in Russia fluctuates and depends from both deterioration level of processing facilities and economical state of polymethylmethacrylate-consuming sectors.

The Russian market currently offers two types of polymethylmethacrylate products: (i) methacrylic injection-moulded polymers of Dacryl grade; (ii) organic sheet glass (extrusion or block-like). However, foreign producers of organic glass will thrive on the Russian market where local construction and technical-grade organic glass has to tackle sales issues. Russia produces insufficient volume of high-quality organic glass for the aerospace sector.

Methacrylic acid and its derivatives are used to produce vital polymer products.

Methacrylic acid is used to produce rubbers, triplex glass, ion-exchange resins; methacrylic acid salts act as emulsifiers.
