Evonik to supply catalyst for new Röhm MMA plant

Sanjeev Taneja, Head of Evonik Catalysts, said: “This agreement underscores our commitment and experience in the custom catalysts arena. We are delighted to be able to work with the Röhm team to enable commercial scale production of MMA. These catalysts play a key role in Röhm’s newly developed leading in methacrylates (LiMA) technology to produce MMA with efficient resource use and reduced environmental impact. LiMA sets new standards and is the most efficient MMA production technology to have been developed.”

Compared to other MMA processes, the LiMA technology has clear sustainability advantages, as it enables a high yield with low energy consumption and reduced wastewater volumes.

Methacrylate monomers and their derivatives are important precursors used in the automotive, electronic, medical and construction industries, including the production of PLEXIGLAS® and specialty applications, such as contact lenses and adhesives.
