5. Safety
A Material Safety Data Sheet has been compiled fortert-butyl acrylate that contains up-to-date information on all questions relevant to safety.

6. Storage and handling
In order to prevent polymerization, tertiary butyl acrylate must always be stored under air, and never under inert gases. The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35℃。Under these conditions, a storage stability of one year can be expected. In order to minimize the likelihood of over storage, the storage procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle. Storage tanks and pipes should be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Although tertiary butyl acrylate does not corrode carbon steel, there is a risk of contamination if corrosion does occur. Regulations for the storage of flammable liquids must be observed (explosion-proof electrical equipment, vented tanks with flame arresters etc.). Storage tanks, pumps and pipes must be earthed.
