NOTES |
---|
Boiling Point cannot be experimentally determined: at 1013 hPa polymerization occurs at elevated temperatures, other boiling point: 67 C at 4.6 hPa. Methacrylates are normally stabilized by addition of phenolic inhibitors during transport and storage. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. May cause cross sensitization towards other acrylates. |
