Description and Uses
Methylacrylonitrile is a colorless liquid with an odor like bitter almonds. Odor threshold= 7.0 ppm. It is reported that methacrylonitrile cannot be detected by its smell even at concentrations which are already dangerous for humans. Hence, special attention must be given to ventilation and estimations of the amount of poison present and must be carried out frequently. Molecular weight= 67.10; Specific gravity (H2O:1)= 0.80;Boiling point=90.6℃; Freezing/Melting point=35.8℃; Vapor pressure= 71 mmHg at 25℃; Flash point=1.1℃ (cc). Explosive limits: LEL= 2%; UEL= 6.8%. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 3, Reactivity 2. Slightly soluble in water; solubility in water=3%.
Methylacrylonitrile is used to make coating and elastomers and as an intermediate in the preparation of acids, amine, amides, and esters.
