METHYL LACTATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl lactate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the chemical formula C₄H₈O₃, 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 lactate is also used in the formulation of cleaning agents and as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages. Despite its utility, methyl lactate 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.
