METHYL ACETOACETATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Methyl acetoacetate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the chemical formula C₅H₈O₃, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Methyl acetoacetate is also used in the production of perfumes and flavorings. Despite its utility, methyl acetoacetate can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent accidents and ensure safety.
