Inhibited Ethyl Acrylate for Polymer Synthesis
High-purity ethyl acrylate with 25 ppm monomethyl ether hydroquinone (MEHQ) specifically inhibited for safe long-distance transport to polymer plants. HTS 2916.12.50.10 applies as Chapter 29(g) permits identification/safety additives that don't create specific-use suitability. Key raw material for acrylic emulsions.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If partially polymerized during storage/transport
Any polymerization shifts classification from monomer (Ch29) to polymers (Ch39).
If contains aromatic acid impurities >2%
Aromatic monocarboxylic acid presence dominates over aliphatic acrylate classification.
If misdeclared as acyclic unsaturated alcohol
Functional group misidentification moves from carboxylic ester to alcohol classification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide transport emergency card (TREM card) and 16-point safety data per IMDG regulations
• Declare 'For Further Chemical Processing Only' to prevent end-use classification challenges
• Monitor inhibitor depletion during transit; re-analysis may be required if >50% degraded
Related Products under HTS 2916.12.50.10
Ethyl Acrylate Monomer
Pure ethyl acrylate (CH2=CHCOOCH2CH3) is a colorless liquid unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester used primarily as a chemical intermediate in polymer production. It falls under HTS 2916.12.50.10 as a specific ester of acrylic acid, meeting Chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds. Stabilizers may be added for safe transport without changing its classification.
Stabilized Ethyl Acrylate 98%
Industrial-grade ethyl acrylate containing 20-50 ppm MEHQ stabilizer for polymerization inhibition during storage and transport. Classified under HTS 2916.12.50.10 per Chapter 29 note (f) as the stabilizer is necessary for preservation without rendering it suitable for specific use. Used in manufacturing superabsorbent polymers and latex paints.
Ethyl Acrylate Technical Grade
Technical grade ethyl acrylate with 97-99% assay, trace acrylic acid (<0.1%), and polymerization inhibitor for bulk chemical supply. Meets HTS 2916.12.50.10 as a chemically defined acrylic acid ester per Chapter 29(a), used in textile coatings and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Impurities are within tolerance for chemical classification.
Ethyl Acrylate Bulk Chemical Intermediate
Bulk ethyl acrylate shipped in ISO tanks for industrial manufacture of paints, adhesives, and textiles, stabilized against polymerization. Precisely matches HTS 2916.12.50.10 as an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester, chemically defined per Chapter 29 criteria. Trace impurities do not affect principal classification.
