Usage:
Methyl formate is used primarily to manufacture formamide, dimethylformamide, and formic acid. These compounds are precursors or building blocks for many useful derivatives.
Because of its high vapor pressure, it is used for quick-drying finishes and as a blowing agent, patented by Foam Supplies, Inc. under the Ecomate trade name, for a wide range of polyurethane foam applications and as a replacement for CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs. Methyl formate has zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential. It is also used as an insecticide.
A historical use of methyl formate, which sometimes brings it attention, was in refrigeration. Before the introduction of less-toxic refrigerants, methyl formate was used as an alternative to sulfur dioxide in domestic refrigerators, such as some models of the famous GE Monitor Top.

Experimental Properties:Slow reaction with water to form formic acid and methyl alcohol; Ratio of Specific Heats of Vapor (Gas): 1.1446|Hydroxyl radical reaction rate constant = 2.27X10-13 cu cm/molc sec at 25 °C|Saturation concentration in air= 1,569 g/cu m at 20 °C|Heat of formation = -386.1 kJ/mol at 25 °C; heat capacity = 119.1 J/(mol-K) at 25 °C|For more Other Experimental Properties (Complete) data for METHYL FORMATE (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
Air and Water Reactions:Highly flammable. Water soluble. Reacts slowly with water to give formic acid, a corrosive material, and methanol, a flammable liquid. Both products are dissolved in the water.
Reactive Group:Esters, Sulfate Esters, Phosphate Esters, Thiophosphate Esters, and Borate Esters
Reactivity Alerts:Highly Flammable
Reactivity Profile:METHYL FORMATE reacts with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides.
