To avoid polymerization, Methyl Acrylate (MA) should always be stored in air and not under inert gases. For the stabilizer to function effectively, oxygen is required. Methyl Acrylate (MA) must contain a stabilizer and be stored at a temperature not exceeding 35°C. Under such conditions, product stability is maintained for 1 year. In order to minimize the likelihood of excess storage, the storage procedure must strictly follow the first-come-first-go principle. When stored for more than 4 weeks, it is advisable to replenish the dissolved oxygen content. Methyl Acrylate (MA) is transported in containers, railway tanks, cylinders. Usually, methyl acrylate is stored in ground vertical cylindrical tanks (with a volume of 50–5000 m3) with a fill factor of 0.9–0.95 at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. The maximum storage capacity is 76 tons.
