Acetic acid ethyl ester, commonly called ethyl acetate or EA with the formula C4H8O2, is a colorless liquid solvent with a sweet, fruity odor. It is widely used in paints, coatings, adhesives, cleaning products, and pharmaceutical extraction processes. In industrial equipment, ethyl acetate can interact with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, so compatibility should be evaluated to prevent swelling or degradation. Although generally considered low in toxicity and biodegradable, proper storage, ventilation, handling practices, and appropriate PPE are recommended.
