tert-Butyl methacrylate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	Colorless liquid
General Description	A colorless liquid with an ester like odor. Flash point below 141°F. Less dense than water and insoluble in water.
Air & Water Reactions	Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile	TERT-BUTYL METHACRYLATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Health Hazard	Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
