Methyl acetate CAS 79-20-9 is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet smell, commonly used as a solvent for various purposes. The following are its main uses:
1. Methyl acetate CAS 79-20-9 is often used as a solvent in paint, varnish and coating formulations due to its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances.
2. Used in the production of adhesives and sealants, it helps to dissolve and mix ingredients effectively.
3. Methyl acetate is used to extract natural products such as flavors and fragrances due to its ability to selectively dissolve certain compounds.
4. It can be used as a cleaner for various surfaces and materials, especially in industrial environments.
5. Methyl acetate is a precursor for the synthesis of other chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
6. In laboratories, it is often used as a solvent for chemical reactions and extractions.
7. It can be used as a solvent or carrier for active ingredients in certain cosmetic formulations.
Methyl acetate CAS 79-20-9 should be stored carefully to ensure its safety and maintain its quality.
1. Store methyl acetate CAS 79-20-9 in airtight containers made of compatible materials such as glass or certain plastics. Make sure the container is clearly labeled.
2. Store containers in a cool, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames as methyl acetate is flammable.
3. Store below 25°C (77°F) to minimize risk of vaporization and maintain stability.
4. Keep methyl acetate away from incompatible substances, such as strong oxidants, acids and bases to prevent dangerous reactions.
5. Ensure that appropriate safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and spill control materials, is available in storage areas.
6. Limit access to storage areas to personnel who are aware of the hazards associated with methyl acetate.
7. Regularly inspect storage containers for leaks, damage or signs of deterioration.
