Molecular Structure:

Butyl formate(592-84-7) is an ester. Esters react 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 by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 247].

Butyl formate Safety Profile

Hazard Codes： F,Xi
RIDADR： UN 1128 3/PG 2
WGK Germany： 1
RTECS： LQ5500000
HazardClass： 3
PackingGroup： II
HS Code： 29151300
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mildly toxic by inhalation. Human systemic effects by inhalation: muscle contractions and spasticity, conjunctiva irritation, and unspecified respiratory changes. An irritant and narcotic in high concentrations. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, foam, CO₂, dry chemical. Incompatible with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes.

Butyl formate Standards and Recommendations

DOT Classification: 3; Label: Flammable Liquid

Butyl formate Specification

1、Fire Fighting Measures of n-Butyl formate(592-84-7)
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
2、Handling and Storage of n-Butyl formate(592-84-7)
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area.
