Description

Ethyl Acetate - 5 Gallon Pail

This product is a moderately polar, clear, colorless liquid solvent with a light fruity odor. Ethyl Acetate, also known as ethyl ethanoate, is a widely used solvent in organic synthesis that is highly miscible with all common organic solvents. It is cost efficient, highly effective and is easily broken in both air and water simultaneously. Ethyl Acetate has the advantages of being relatively non-toxic and non-hygroscopic. Ethyl Acetate can be mixed with non-polar solvents and is also used for extractions.

What are the synonyms, physical, and chemical properties of Ethyl Acetate?

Ethyl Acetate has no listed synonyms. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. The product is highly flammable, has a low flash point, evaporates quickly, and has low viscosity. It has a boiling point of approximately 171°F and is lighter than water.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling Ethyl Acetate?

Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Avoid breathing vapors and prevent contact with eyes and skin. Wear protective gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed and seek immediate medical attention. Wash thoroughly after handling and store in a cool, well-ventilated area with containers tightly closed.

What are the appropriate engineering controls for Ethyl Acetate?

Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to keep vapor concentrations below applicable exposure limits. Explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, and lighting equipment should be used where flammable vapors may be present. Ground and bond containers during transfer operations.
