Efficient and Fast-Evaporating Solvent

Methyl Acetate 99% features a low boiling point of 56.9C and a high vapor pressure, making it ideal for applications requiring fast drying. Its solubility in water (25 g/L at 20C) and miscibility with many organic solvents allow for versatile formulation, particularly in the manufacturing of coatings, adhesives, and inks.

Safe Storage and Handling Guidelines

As a flammable liquid (Hazard Class 3, UN 1231), Methyl Acetate must be stored in cool, dry, and well-ventilated conditions, away from heat or ignition sources. Following these guidelines preserves both its stability and effectiveness, and complies with regulatory requirements, while minimizing risks during storage and use.

Applications Across Diverse Industries

This solvents rapid evaporation and neutrality make it an invaluable ingredient in a variety of industries. Its primary uses span industrial solvents, paints, coatings, adhesives, and inks, where it enhances application efficiency and finish aesthetics thanks to its unique physical and chemical properties.

FAQs of Methyl Acetate 99%:

Q: How should Methyl Acetate 99% be stored to maintain its stability and shelf life?

A: Store Methyl Acetate 99% in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Use tightly sealed containers such as 200-litre drums or IBC tanks and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Proper storage under recommended conditions preserves stability and ensures a shelf life of up to two years.

Q: What are the primary industrial applications of Methyl Acetate 99%?

A: Methyl Acetate 99% is primarily used as a fast-evaporating solvent in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, adhesives, and inks. Its rapid drying properties enhance efficiency and surface finish, making it a preferred choice in the chemical and surface treatment industries.

Q: When should Methyl Acetate be handled with extra caution?

A: Due to its low flash point (10C) and high vapor pressure, extra caution is needed whenever handling Methyl Acetate near ignition sources or at elevated temperatures. Always use suitable protective equipment and ensure the area is well-ventilated to avoid flammable vapor accumulation.

Q: Where is Methyl Acetate 99% commonly used?

A: Methyl Acetate is widely utilized in industrial environments across India and globally. Paint manufacturers, adhesive producers, and printing ink formulators commonly use this solvent due to its effective solubilizing and fast evaporation features.

Q: What benefits does using Methyl Acetate 99% offer over other solvents?

A: Methyl Acetate 99% provides quick evaporation, low viscosity, and excellent solubility, leading to rapid drying times and improved productivity. Its pleasant odor and minimal toxicity make it a safer alternative in many formulations, while its high purity and stability ensure consistent performance.

Q: How is Methyl Acetate industrially produced?

A: Methyl Acetate is produced by the esterification of methanol and acetic acid, resulting in a neutral ester (pH not applicable) classified as a carboxylic acid ester under organic chemicals.

Q: What process should be followed in case of a Methyl Acetate spill?

A: In the event of a spill, eliminate all ignition sources and ventilate the area. Absorb the spill with a non-combustible material such as sand, then collect it in a suitable container for disposal. Follow all local regulations for flammable liquids when handling spills.
