Behenyl Methacrylate 1822 (BEMA 1822)

In order to prevent polymerization, Behenyl Methacrylate 1822 F (BEMA 1822 F) must always be stored under air, and never under inert gases. The presence of oxygen is required for the stabilizer to function effectively. It has to contain a stabilizer and the storage temperature must not exceed 35 °C. Under these conditions, the storage stability of one year can be
expected upon delivery. In order to minimize the likelihood of over storage, the storage procedure should strictly follow the “first-in-first-out” principle. If Behenyl Methacrylate 1822 F (BEMA 1822 F) is crystallized the product can be melted safely with heating temperatures up to 60 °C. It should not be stored at this temperature for more than 5 days in order to prevent degradation in quality and premature formation of polymer fractions. In order to reduce thermal stress during the melting process, air convection should be very good. Under such favorable conditions, melting can be achieved within 24 hours. Storage tanks and pipes should be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Storage tanks, pumps, and pipes should be earthed.

When working with Behenyl Methacrylate 1822 F (BEMA 1822 F), the sanitary rules for organizing technological processes and hygienic requirements for production equipment must be strictly observed. All types of work with Behenyl Methacrylate 1822 F (BEMA 1822 F) must be carried out in rooms equipped with general supply and exhaust ventilation. It is not allowed to carry out work in these rooms using an open fire. Those working with BEMA 1822 must be provided with special clothing and personal protective equipment in accordance with GOST 12.4.034. In the event of a fire, it is necessary to use fire extinguishers OP-5, OVP-100 felt, sand, asbestos cloth. Spilled on solid ground BEMA 1822 should be covered with sand. A Safety Data Sheet has been compiled for Behenyl Methacrylate 1822 F(BEMA 1822 F) that contains up-to-date information on questions relevant to safety.
