Additional Information
- CAS number
- 79-41-4
- Chemical nature
- 2-Methyl-propenoic acid
- Applications
- It is produced for use as a building block to make a wide range of polymer-based products
- Paint resins
- water-soluble polymers
- base material for the manufacture of methacrylic esters
- Storage
- Shelf life of the standard stabilized product: 6 months between 20 °C and 25°C from date of delivery., Maintain the temperature of the methacrylic acid between 18 °C and approx. 35°C. The ideal storage temperature is 20 °C ─ 25°C. Depending on the situation, temperatures up to 40°C may occur during transport., Below 16 °C the GMAA crystallizes and is depleted of dissolved oxygen and inhibitor. Hence the process of unfreezing has to be done very carefully.
- Handling
- It is registered in REACH.
