ACETIC ACID METHYL ESTER Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Acetic acid methyl ester, commonly known as methyl acetate or methyl ethanoate with the formula C3H6O2, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a mild fruity odor. It is widely used as a solvent for cellulose, plastics, and resins, and in the manufacture of paints, coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceutical products. In processing equipment, methyl acetate may contact O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, so compatibility should be evaluated to prevent swelling or material degradation. Proper storage, careful handling, ventilation, and appropriate PPE are recommended.
