Application

Methyl acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers. Copolymers of methyl acrylate can be prepared with acrylic acid and its salts, amides and esters, and with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc.  Methyl acrylate is also a very useful feedstock for chemical syntheses, because it readily undergoes addition reactions with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.

Packing

180kg or 200kg drum, and Isotanks.

Handling and Storage

To prevent polymerization, methyl acrylate must always be stored under air, and never under inert gases.  It has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35ºC.  Under these conditions, a storage stability of one year can be expected.  To minimize the likelihood of overstorage, the storage procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle. Storage tanks and pipes should be made of stainless steel or aluminium.
