    Detailed Introduction

    Methyl Acetate ( CAS:79‑20‑9, molecular formula \(\boldsymbol{C_3H_6O_2}\), molecular weight 74.08) is a low‑boiling carboxylic ester solvent, produced by esterification of acetic acid and methanol followed by rectification refining.
    At room temperature, it is clear, colorless highly‑volatile liquid with mild sweet fruity aroma. It is partially soluble in water and fully miscible with alcohols, ethers, ketones and most organic solvents. Boiling point 56.8℃, flash point ‑10℃ closed cup. It features fast evaporation rate and excellent dissolving capacity for nitrocellulose, acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, oils and waxes. Compared with aromatic solvents, it owns lower toxicity and weak smell, which makes it a popular eco‑friendly alternative solvent for VOC‑compliant formulation.
    Our industrial‑grade methyl acetate reaches 99.0% minimum purity. Strictly control moisture, acidity and methanol impurities, stable batch‑to‑batch quality for export market.

    ECHEMI Editorial Reference
    Methyl 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.
