Chemical properties

Ethyl acetate is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. It has a relatively low boiling point (about 77 °C) and evaporates quickly at room temperature. The substance is miscible with many organic solvents and does not attract moisture, which is relevant for storage and processing.

Storage and use

Ethyl acetate has a low boiling point and evaporates quickly, even at room temperature. Store the fabric in a cool, dark place. The liquid does not attract moisture. Store it in a tightly closed container and away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Always use with appropriate and appropriate personal protective equipment.
