Hazard InformationBack Directory
【General Description】

A clear colorless liquid with a fragrant odor. Moderately toxic. Flash point 14°F. Vapors heavier than air.
【Reactivity Profile】

METHYL ACETATE(79-20-9) presents a fire or explosion hazard when exposed to strong oxidizing agents. Emits irritating fumes and acrid smoke when heated to decomposition, [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 826]. METHYL ACETATE(79-20-9) reactivity is consistent with other compounds of the ester group.
【Air & Water Reactions】

Highly flammable. Water soluble.
【Health Hazard】

(Very similar to those of methyl alcohol, which constitutes 20% of commercial grade.) Inhalation causes headache, fatigue, and drowsiness; high concentrations can produce central nervous system depression and optic nerve damage. Liquid irritates eyes and may cause defatting and cracking of skin. Ingestion causes headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue; may cause severe eye damage.
【Fire Hazard】

Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
