Storage method
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The temperature of the reservoir should not exceed 30ºC. Store away from light. It should be stored separately from acids and oxidants, and should not be mixed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. Do not use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to spark. The storage area should be equipped with leak emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
Main use
1. Mainly used in powder coatings, but also used in thermosetting coatings, fiber treatment agents, adhesives, antistatic agents, vinyl chloride stabilizers, rubber and resin modifiers, ion exchange resins and printing ink adhesives. 2. Used as a functional monomer for polymerization. Mainly used in the manufacture of acrylic powder coatings, as soft monomer and methyl methacrylate and styrene and other hard monomer copolymerization, can adjust the glass transition temperature and flexibility, improve the gloss, adhesion and weather resistance of the film. Also used in the manufacture of acrylic emulsion and non-woven fabrics. As a functional monomer, it can be used to manufacture photosensitive resin, ion exchange resin, chelating resin, selective filter membrane for medical use, dental material, anticoagulant, soluble adsorbent, etc. It is also used to modify polyolefin resins, rubber and synthetic fibers. 3. Because it contains both carbon-carbon double bonds and epoxy groups within the molecule, it is widely used in the synthesis and modification of polymer materials. It is used as an active diluent for epoxy resins, a stabilizer for vinyl chloride, a modifier for rubber and resins, an adhesive for ion exchange resins and printing inks. It is also used in powder coating, thermosetting coating, fiber treatment agent, adhesive, antistatic agent and so on. In addition, GMA has also significantly improved the adhesion, water resistance and solvent resistance of adhesives and non-woven coatings. 4. In terms of electronics, it is used in photoresist film, electronic wire, protective film, far infrared phase X-ray protective film. In the aspect of functional polymers, it is used for ion exchange resins, chelating resins, etc. In terms of medical materials, it is used for anti-blood clotting materials, dental materials, etc.
Property and stability
Avoid contact with acids, oxides, ultraviolet radiation, and free radical initiators. Soluble in almost all organic solvents, insoluble in water. This product is mildly toxic.
