Storage Requirements
It is easy to polymerize during storage. Light, heat and peroxide can accelerate the polymerization. Pure monomers do not polymerize below 10 ℃. Generally, 0.1% hydroquinone monomethyl ether is added as polymerization inhibitor. Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37 ℃. The package should be sealed and not contact with air. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids and alkalis, and should not be mixed. It should not be stored in large quantity or for a long time. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate materials.
