Boiling Point: ~100–101°C
Main Hazards of Methyl Methacrylate MMA (CAS 80-62-6)
MMA chemical is a highly flammable liquid and vapor (flash point 10°C) that undergoes a violent polymerization reaction when overheated. It is irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, a potent skin sensitizer, and can cause central nervous system reactions. A single exposure can be toxic to specific organs, and it is classified as a hazardous air pollutant.
Methyl methacrylate hazard information:
| GHS Classification | Hazard Statement |
|---|---|
| Flammable liquids, category 2 | H225-Highly flammable liquid and vapor |
| Skin irritation, category 2 | H315-Causes skin irritation |
| Skin sensitization, category 1 | H317-May cause an allergic skin reaction |
| Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure; respiratory tract irritation, category 3 | H335-May cause respiratory irritation |
| Hazardous to the aquatic environment, acute hazard, category 3 | (No associated hazard statement shown in the image) |
Safe Handling of Methyl Methacrylate liquid
To mitigate risks, taking appropriate safety precautions is crucial:
1. Storage Guidelines
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place. It must be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Always store this chemical in sealed containers.
2. Personal Protection
When handling MMA (CAS 80-62-6), wear protective gloves and goggles. If the workplace is poorly ventilated, use respiratory protection. Always avoid direct skin contact with this substance.
3. Workplace Safety
Ensure good ventilation in the work area. Use explosion-proof equipment when handling MMA chemicals. Always follow the instructions in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Contact us for the complete SDS.
