Methyl Acetate - 55 Gallon Drum

Description

High Purity Methyl Acetate is a fast evaporating, active solvent that is used with a broad range of coating and ink resins. This mildly odored solvent is a urethane grade (low water and alcohol content) solvent. This quality deems it beneficial in moisture sensitive paints such as 2-K polyurethane coatings. With its fast evaporation rate, the Methyl Acetate is suitable for use in other applications where fast solvent release and quick dry-to-touch time are needed. Methyl acetate is a non-HAP, non-ODS, readily biodegradable solvent that can be used in mixtures to develop environmentally friendly cleaners.

FAQ

What is the CAS-no. and formula of Methyl Acetate?

Methyl Acetate has the CAS No. 79-20-9 and the chemical formula C₃H₆O₂.

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

Methyl Acetate is also known as acetic acid methyl ester. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a fruity odor. The product is highly flammable, has a low flash point of approximately ?13°C (8.6°F), a boiling point of about 57°C (135°F), and evaporates rapidly. Vapors are heavier than air and can form explosive mixtures with air.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling Methyl Acetate?

Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. Avoid breathing vapors and avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear protective gloves, eye protection, and face protection. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed. Use only in well-ventilated areas and store containers tightly closed and locked when not in use.

What are the appropriate engineering controls for Methyl Acetate?

Ensure good general and local exhaust ventilation at the work station to keep vapor concentrations below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion-proof electrical and ventilation equipment. Ground and bond containers and receiving equipment to prevent static discharge and ignition from vapors.
