Storage & Handling of Lauryl Methacrylate
In order to prevent polymerization, Lauryl Methacrylate  must always be stored under air, and never under inert gases. 
The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. 
Lauryl Methacrylate has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C. 
Under these conditions, a 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-firstout” 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.

Lauryl Methacrylate is a methacrylate that has been used as a cross-linking agent in polymers. 
The viscosity of the solution increases with increasing concentration. 
The reaction mechanism is thought to be initiated by the formation of acyl radicals, followed by chain propagation. 
Lauryl methacrylate was shown to form particles when mixed with water and an emulsifier. 
It is also possible that hydrogen bonds between lauryl methacrylate molecules may contribute to its aggregation behavior.

Lauryl Methacrylate is also used in used in textile and metal coatings, paint, varnishes, low temperature caulks and sealants.

The preparation of lauryl methacrylate (LMA)-based monolithic columns for CEC using lauroyl peroxide (LPO) as thermal initiator of polymerization has been investigated. 
The influence of initiator amount and composition of porogenic solvent on the physical and electrochromatographic properties of the resulting LMA-based monoliths was evaluated. A comparison with LMA-based columns thermally polymerized with AIBN was performed. 
At a given porogenic solvent composition, LMA stationary phases initiated with LPO showed higher permeabilities and better efficiency values than those prepared using AIBN as initiator. 
The optimum polymerization mixture found for LPO initiator provided a minimum plate height of 9.5 μm in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixture. 
The produced monolithic beds also exhibited a good run-to-run repeatability and column-to-column and mixture-to-mixture reproducibility, with RSD values below 5.3% for the retention factors, areas and plate heights.
