  • Description

    Methyl acetate is the simplest acetate ester, appearing as a colorless, volatile liquid with a pleasant, acetone-like odor. With a low boiling point (56.9°C) and rapid evaporation rate, it serves as an important low-boiling solvent and chemical intermediate, widely used in industries requiring fast drying and increasingly replacing traditional toxic solvents.

    Handling and Storage

    Precautions for safe handling

    NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use non-sparking handtools. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

    Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

    Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids and strong bases.Store in a flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet away from ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials. ... Methyl acetate must be stored to avoid contact with strong oxidizers (such as chlorine, bromine, and fluorine) and strong acids (such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric), since violent reactions occur. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from strong alkalis and nitrates. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where methyl acetate is used, handled or stored in a manner that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of methyl acetate.
