General Hints:
Polymerization maybe initiated by contamination with peroxides, azo-compounds, heavy metal ions and tert-amines. Polymerization is also induced by light. Storage temperature should be below 35℃.
Packaging and Storage:
1. In steel drums, net weight 180kg, or stainless steel tank.
2. Avoid shine, rain and high temperature. Stored in cool, dry and ventilated places. Keep away from fire. Shelf life 6 months below 30℃.
Application:
Butyl Methacrylate (BMA) is used as comonomer of organic glass. Its monomer polymer has higher adhesive bonding and good elasticity, so it can be used for producing transparent interlayer material of laminated safety glass.
The polymer or copolymer of BMA can be used in the field of insulating potting, anti-halation layer of photographic film, underwater paint, car coating, synthetical adhesives, oil additives, finishing agent for paper, leather and textile.
