Methyl Acrylate with Hydroquinone Inhibitor from Japan
Methyl acrylate stabilized with hydroquinone (HQ) at low levels (<100 ppm) to prevent polymerization during transport, per Chapter 29 note (f) for stabilizers necessary for preservation. This remains classified under HTS 2916.12.50.20 as the primary compound is still chemically defined methyl acrylate. Used in textile and paper coatings.
