Butyl Acrylate Monomer (Stabilized, 99.5% Purity) from China
High-purity butyl acrylate stabilized with 10 ppm hydroquinone, packaged in 200L drums for industrial polymerization. Falls squarely under HTS 2916.12.50.30 as the specific butyl ester of acrylic acid, a chemically defined unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester per Chapter 29 scope. Excluded from Chapter 38 as it meets separate compound purity criteria.

Import Tips
• Certificate of Analysis must specify polymerization inhibitor type/concentration to validate Chapter 29 classification over Chapter 38 mixtures
• Refrigerated container shipping required (15-25°C); temperature data loggers mandatory for claims
• Avoid steel drums without lining; butyl acrylate attacks unprotected carbon steel causing contamination
