ACETIC ACID METHYL ESTER Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Acetic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl acetate, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant, fruity smell. Its chemical formula is C3H6O2. Methyl acetate is commonly used as a solvent for cellulose, plastics, and resins, as well as in the production of paints, coatings, and adhesives. It is also employed in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Methyl acetate is produced by the esterification of methanol and acetic acid. It is known for its fast evaporation rate and low toxicity, making it a preferred solvent in various applications. However, it is important to handle methyl acetate with care, as it is flammable and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage and safety measures are necessary to minimize the risks associated with its use.
