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.
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.
If misidentified as unsaturated alcohol derivative
Incorrect functional group classification moves it from acrylic acid esters to ether-alcohols.
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.
