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.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2916.12.50Same rate: 38.7%

If purity <95% but still primarily ethyl acrylate

Other ethyl acrylate esters (not specified) fall under parent subheading, but this is same 10-digit level.

2909.49Lower: 15.5% vs 38.7%

If misidentified as unsaturated alcohol derivative

Incorrect functional group classification moves it from acrylic acid esters to ether-alcohols.

3815.90.20.00Lower: 37.8% vs 38.7%

If contains >10% reaction catalysts/residues

Catalyst-containing reaction products classified as supported catalysts, not pure monomers.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit stabilizer concentration analysis; levels >500 ppm may trigger Chapter 38 mixture classification

Use UN-approved drums/ISO tanks with proper Inhibitor Certificate for CBP verification

Avoid 'paint intermediate' descriptions; emphasize chemical intermediate use to maintain Chapter 29 status

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.

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.

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.

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.
