Methyl formate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties colourless liquid General Description A clear colorless liquid with an agreeable odor. Flash point -27°F. Less dense than water Vapors heavier than air. Air & Water Reactions Highly flammable. Water soluble. Reacts slowly with water to give formic acid, a corrosive material, and methanol, a flammable liquid. Both products are dissolved in the water. Reactivity Profile Methyl formate reacts with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. Health Hazard Inhalation causes irritation of mucous membranes. Prolonged inhalation can produce narcosis and central nervous symptoms, including some temporary visual disturbance. Contact with liquid irritates eyes and may irritate skin if allowed to remain. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach and central nervous system depression, including visual disturbances. Fire Hazard Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
