DescriptionECHEMI Editorial ReferenceMethyl Acetate is an organic compound widely found in nature, with the chemical formula C3H6O2. This compound typically appears as a colorless, transparent liquid with a pleasant fruity aroma, reminiscent of certain fruits. Due to its excellent solubility, Methyl Acetate has a very high solubility in organic solvents, making it widely applicable in industrial and laboratory settings. Specifically, Methyl Acetate is often used as a solvent in the production of coatings, adhesives, inks, and plastics, due to its good dissolving capabilities. It can dissolve a variety of organic substances, including fats, resins, and certain natural and synthetic polymers. Additionally, Methyl Acetate is commonly used in laboratories for extraction and analytical chemical reactions, as it effectively dissolves many organic compounds, facilitating separation and purification. Due to its favorable solubility and low toxicity, Methyl Acetate also offers some environmental advantages. Compared to other organic solvents, Methyl Acetate poses less risk to the environment and human health, making it a more eco-friendly option in certain applications. However, despite its many advantages, it is essential to note its flammability and take appropriate safety measures to ensure safe usage.CertificatesBasic Info

Handling and StoragePrecautions 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.
