2EHA High-Purity Acrylate Monomer | 50,000 Tons Annual Capacity

Proper 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) storage is critical to maintaining its chemical stability, purity, and performance, preventing degradation or safety hazards. 2EHA should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames, as it is flammable with a flash point requiring careful temperature control—ideally between 15°C and 30°C. Storage containers must be made of compatible materials such as stainless steel or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to avoid chemical reactions that could contaminate the monomer or cause container damage. Containers should be tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation of volatile components and to minimize exposure to air, which can lead to oxidation and the formation of peroxides, a potential safety risk. It is also important to store 2EHA separately from incompatible substances, including strong oxidizers, acids, and bases, to prevent hazardous reactions. Inventory should be managed using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system to ensure older stock is used before newer batches, reducing the risk of long-term storage degradation. E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd. provides detailed storage guidelines for its 2EHA, emphasizing these practices to customers, as the company’s high-purity (99%) 2EHA—produced via advanced catalytic polymerization—requires careful handling to preserve its quality. Regular inspections of storage areas for leaks, corrosion, or temperature fluctuations are recommended, along with proper labeling to identify the contents, hazards, and storage requirements. By following these protocols, users can ensure 2EHA remains stable and suitable for its intended use in adhesives, resins, and coatings.
