PRODUCT SALES SPECS SDS CONTACT APPLICATIONS Acetone cyanohydrin (N/A) SDS CONTACT > INEOS produces acetone cyanohydrin (ACH) at its Green Lake, Texas acrylonitrile plant from the reaction of co-product hydrogen cyanide with acetone. We are one of the largest ACH producers in the United States. Acetone cyanohydrin is a primary feedstock used in producing methacrylic acid and its esters, principally methyl methacrylate (MMA). The largest market for MMA is the manufacture of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resins, which find their way into acrylic sheet and molding and extrusion compounds used to manufacture a variety of construction and household improvement items, such as hot tubs. MMA is also used to manufacture surface coatings (paints) used in the automotive and architectural markets. ACH is also used to manufacture halogenated water treatment chemicals for the pool and spa market.
