CAS 10311-7 Storage Guidelines for 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate

Storage guidelines for CAS 103117 (2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2EHA) are designed to maintain product stability, prevent degradation, and ensure safety, based on its chemical properties. 2EHA should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources (heaters, boilers), and ignition sources (flames, sparks), with ambient temperatures ideally between 15-30°C to avoid polymerization or vapor buildup. Storage containers must be made of compatible materials: stainless steel, aluminum, or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to resist chemical attack, with tight-fitting lids to prevent vapor escape and moisture ingress. Containers should be labeled clearly with “Flammable Liquid,” CAS 103117, and hazard symbols. Inventory management follows a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system to use older stock first, reducing long-term storage risks. 2EHA must be stored separately from incompatible materials: oxidizers (peroxides, chlorine), strong acids, and bases, with minimum separation distances to prevent cross-contamination or reactions. Spill containment (bunds, trays) is required to contain leaks. Regular inspections check for container damage, corrosion, or leaks, and ventilation systems are maintained to control vapor levels. E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd. recommends these guidelines for its 99% pure CAS 103117 2EHA, ensuring it remains stable for 6-12 months under proper storage, preserving quality for use in adhesives, coatings, and resins.
