Can I still use a month-old inhibitor free MMA for polymerization?

07 November 2018 1 7K Report

I removed the inhibitors in my MMA a month ago. I just stored the treated MMA in a vial wrapped in aluminum and the vial is in the refrigerator. Can I still use my MMA for polymerization? Or should I make a fresh batch of MMA?

David Space

It may be possible, but first, set up a scaled-down version of the polymerization reaction to see if the stored MMA still works, and how effective it may be.
