What is Methyl Acrylate

Methyl acrylate is an organic compound, more accurately the methyl ester of acrylic acid. It is a colourless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor. It is mainly produced to make acrylate fiber, which is used to weave synthetic carpets. It is also a reagent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical intermediates. Owing to the tendency of methyl acrylate to polymerize, samples typically contain an inhibitor such as hydroquinone.

The Safety, Handling and Storage Principles

 

1.Use and maintain proper inhibitor levels, as inhibitors are consumed over time.

 

2.Observe the recommended storage time and temperatures to prevent depletion of the inhibitor, below 35°C (95°F) and prefer­ably below 30°C (86°F).

 

3.Use proper MOCs and keep tanks, reactors, and piping thoroughly clean.

 

4.Prevent contact with amines, strong acids, alkalis, silica, alumina, oxidizing agents, UV and initiators which can cause spontaneous polymerization.

 

5.You must never handle or store MA under an inert atmosphere, as the presence of oxygen is required for the inhibitor to function effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Q: What is methyl acrylate used for?

A: Methyl acrylate is a raw material for applications including acrylic fibers, fiber processing agents, molding resins, adhesives, paints, coatings, and emulsions. Poly(methyl acrylate) is a tacky material near room temperature, and as such it is not particularly useful as a structural material. Commonly, methyl acrylate (and other acrylate esters) are copolymerized with other alkenes to give useful engineering plastics.

Q: Is methyl acrylate safe?

A: Methyl Acrylate may cause a skin allergy. If allergy develops, very low future exposure can cause itching and a skin rash. Prolonged exposure to Methyl Acrylate may cause liver and kidney damage. Methyl Acrylate is a FLAMMABLE and REACTIVE LIQUID and a FIRE and EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Q: Is methyl acrylate alcohol?

A: Methyl acrylate is a colorless, transparent, highly flammable liquid. It is a volatile liquid, slightly soluble in water and completely soluble in alcohol.

Q: Is methyl acrylate corrosive?

A: Although methyl acrylate does not corrode carbon steel, there is a risk of contamination if corrosion does occur. Regulations for the storage of flammable liquids must be observed (explo- sion-proof electrical equipment, vented tanks with flame arresters etc.).

Q: What contains methyl acrylate?
