CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Methyl 2-chloroacrylate is a colorless liquid. Used to make acrylic high polymer with properties closely resembling those of polymethylmethacrylate. Monomer for specialty polymers (e.g., aircraft glazing). (EPA, 1998) |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | COLORLESS LIQUID |
| Boiling Point | 126 °F at 51 mmHg (EPA, 1998) |
| Solubility | less than 1 mg/mL at 72 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Density | 1.189 at 68 °F (EPA, 1998) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Vapor Pressure | 29.0 [mmHg] |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /hydrogen chloride/. |
| Polymerization | METHYL METHACRYLATE, AND IN GENERAL THE METHACRYLIC ESTERS, POLYMERIZE MUCH LESS READILY THAN THE CORRESPONDING ORDINARY ACRYLATES. NONE THE LESS, THEY ARE STABILIZED BY ADDING HYDROQUINONE OR PYROGALLOL, PARTICULARLY IN THE PRESENCE OF METALLIC COPPER. /METHACRYLATES/ |
