What is Ethyl Acrylate?


Ethyl Acrylate is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor that is used as a monomer in the production of acrylic emulsions, plastic resins, paints and coatings, adhesives, and textiles. Due to its volatility and toxicity, it must meet strict safety and quality standards before use.


Why BIS Certification is Mandatory


The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals has listed Ethyl Acrylate under its Quality Control Order (QCO). This means that BIS certification is required to manufacture, sell, or import Ethyl Acrylate in India. Products must comply with the specifications prescribed under IS 14708:1999, and only BIS-certified manufacturers can legally supply Ethyl Acrylate in the Indian market. Without BIS certification, the product cannot be legally manufactured, sold, imported, or distributed in India.


IS 14708:1999 - Key Requirements


As per the standard, certified Ethyl Acrylate must meet the prescribed purity requirement (typically ? 99.0%), along with specified limits for impurities such as inhibitor content, water content, and acidity. The product must also comply with requirements related to color and appearance (clear, colorless liquid), refractive index, and specific gravity. Testing must be conducted in a BIS-recognized laboratory to verify compliance with the standard.


ISI Marking & Labelling


Certified Ethyl Acrylate containers must carry the ISI Mark along with the CM/L number, product name and grade, and the applicable standard marking, IS 14708:1999. The label should also include the manufacturer’s name and trademark, batch number, date of manufacture, and the required hazard and safety warnings in accordance with chemical regulations.
