Product Description
Butyl methacrylate (stabilised) is a versatile monomer widely used in polymer synthesis, coatings, and adhesive formulations. This high-purity grade from Merck ensures consistent performance in research and industrial applications. Whether you’re a student working on a project or a researcher developing new materials, this stabilised version offers reliability and stability for your experiments.
At eqipped, we provide lab-grade chemicals with detailed specifications to meet your exact needs. The 500 ML pack size is ideal for small-scale experiments or pilot studies, ensuring you have enough material without excess waste. The stabilised formulation prevents premature polymerisation, making it safer and easier to handle in laboratory settings.

This product is commonly used in academic and industrial labs for creating acrylic polymers, dental materials, and specialty coatings. Its low volatility and high reactivity make it a preferred choice for synthesising copolymers with tailored properties. Researchers appreciate its compatibility with various initiators and cross-linkers, allowing for customised polymer architectures.
When working with butyl methacrylate, proper storage is crucial. Keep the container tightly sealed and store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. The stabilised version helps maintain product integrity during storage, but it’s still important to follow standard lab safety protocols.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of stabilised butyl methacrylate?
When stored properly in its original container at room temperature, stabilised butyl methacrylate typically has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture. The stabiliser helps prevent spontaneous polymerisation during storage.
Can I use this for medical device applications?
This product is labelled “for synthesis” and isn’t certified for medical use. For medical device applications, you would need a different grade that meets specific regulatory requirements. Always check the product specifications for your intended use.
What’s the difference between stabilised and unstabilised butyl methacrylate?
Stabilised versions contain inhibitors that prevent premature polymerisation during storage and handling. Unstabilised butyl methacrylate is more reactive but requires immediate use. The stabilised version is generally safer for laboratory use.
How should I dispose of unused butyl methacrylate?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal procedures. Butyl methacrylate should be collected in appropriate containers and disposed of through licensed waste management services. Never pour it down the drain or mix with other waste.
Can I get a smaller quantity than 500 ML?
Currently, eqipped offers this product in 500 ML packs. For smaller quantities, you might need to check with other suppliers or consider sharing with colleagues if you only need a small amount for your work.
