butyl acetate usage and synthesis |
chemical properties |
colourless liquid with a fruity odour |
general description |
a clear colorless liquid with a fruity odor. flash point 72 - 88°f. density 7.4 lb / gal (less than water). hence floats on water. vapors heavier than air. |
air & water reactions |
highly flammable. very slightly soluble in water. |
reactivity profile |
butyl acetate 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. attacks many plastics. [handling chemicals safely 1980. p. 233]. |
health hazard |
skin: prolonged or frequently repeated exposures may lead to drying. inhalation: headaches, dizziness, nausea, irritation of respiratory passages and eyes. |
fire hazard |
highly flammable: will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. most vapors are heavier than air. they will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. containers may explode when heated. many liquids are lighter than water. |
