Storage & Handling of 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate:
In order to prevent polymerization, 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate must always be stored under air, and never under inert gases.
The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively.
2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C.
Under these conditions, the storage stability of one year can be expected upon delivery.
In order to minimize the likelihood of overstorage, the storage procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle.
The preferred construction material for tanks and pipes is stainless steel.
Carbon steel is also acceptable, although the formation of rust may be a problem with product quality (color).
Iron(III)-ions have been shown to be a weak polymerization initiator.
If carbon steel is to be used, special procedures should be used to prepare the tank for use.
Storage tanks, pumps and pipes should be earthed.
