What are reactive groups?
Reactive groups are categories of chemicals that typically react in similar ways because they are similar in their chemical structure. Each substance with a chemical datasheet has been assigned to one or more reactive groups, and CAMEO Chemicals uses the reactive group assignments to make its reactivity predictions. More info about reactivity predictions...
If you can't find a chemical in the database--but you know what reactive group it belongs in--you can add the reactive group to MyChemicals instead in order to see the reactivity predictions.
There are 228 chemical datasheets assigned to this reactive group.
Description
These materials are typically inhibited with low levels (ppm range) of antioxidants to prevent premature polymerization chain reactions and these inhibitors may require dissolved oxygen to be effective. The inhibitors can be depleted with time and are depleted faster at higher storage temperatures. These materials are known to be susceptible to destabilization due to contaminants, even at low levels of contamination. Although there are obvious contaminants that are known to possibly be immediately initiatory to the monomer (radical generating species such as peroxides, azides, etc.), other effects on stability from even seemingly benign materials are harder to predict. Therefore extreme caution should be used in any contamination event and the material should be presumed to be destabilized until testing and consultation with experts occurs and determines otherwise. If the inhibitor and inhibition mechanism are compromised via some interaction with the contaminant, the monomer may polymerize and if contained in a storage container at relatively large volume, the system may become adiabatic and lead to a serious runaway reaction with high temperatures and pressures. The general hazards of monomers are discussed in Frurip et al., Process Safety Progress (Vol. 14, No. 2) 1995.
