METHYL CARBONATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Methyl carbonate is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula C₃H₆O₃, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a solvent in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Methyl carbonate is also used in the manufacture of batteries and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Despite its utility, methyl carbonate can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure.
