Introduction

Methyl acetate is a clear, colorless liquid that is considered to be a family of esters. A solvent that has a high evaporation rate and is soluble in water at room temperature of about 25%. It is a flammable substance and has a low odometallic odor, and also an odor of glue and nail cleaners (acetone). This material is unstable in strong acidic solutions or strong matches.Other names are methyl acetate, acetic acid methyl ester, or methyl ethanate It also has no volatile materials. Methyl acetate is akin-like. Evaporation rates, flammability, and its water vapor are similar to acetone, which is why it can be considered as an alternative to acetone.It is a low polarity solvent that dissolves cellulose acetate, polyvinyl acetate, acrylics, polyester … and a wide range of resins.
