Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Methacrylic Acid?
A: Methacrylic Acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula of C4H6O2. It is a colorless crystalline powder that is soluble in water and most organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It is also an important organic chemical raw material and an intermediate of polymers.
Q: The emergency measures?
Leakage treatment: Evacuate the personnel in the leaked contaminated area to a safe area, and prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Stop the leakage under the condition of ensuring safety and do not touch the leakage directly. Mix and absorb with sand or other non-combustible adsorbents, then collect and transport to the waste treatment site for disposal. If there is a large amount of leakage, use dikes to contain it, and then collect, transfer, recycle or discard it after harmless treatment.
Protective measures: When the concentration in the air exceeds the standard, you need to wear a gas mask. Wear chemical safety goggles and overalls (made of anti-corrosion materials). Wear rubber gloves. Take a shower after work and pay attention to personal hygiene.
First-aid measures: Take off contaminated clothing immediately, wash the contact point with plenty of running water and soapsuds at least 15 minutes, and seek medical advice in time if burns. Immediately lift the eyelids and rinse thoroughly and persistently with plenty of running water or normal saline at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Get out of the scene and into the fresh air. Keep airway open. If anyone has stopped breathing, give mouth to mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention. If swallowed by mistake, drink plenty of warm water, induce vomiting and seek medical attention. Use water spray, carbon dioxide, sand, foam to extinguish fire.
Q: Precautions for storage？
A: Usually the product is added with a polymerization inhibitor. Keep it in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep it away from fire and heat sources. The packaging is required to be tightly sealed and not in contact with air. It should be stored separately from oxidants, amines, and alkalis, and should not be mixed. It should not be stored in large quantities or stored for a long time. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment is necessary. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
