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

Methyl chloroacetate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the chemical formula C₃H₅ClO₂, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Methyl chloroacetate is also used in the production of coatings, adhesives, and as a solvent in chemical reactions. Despite its utility, methyl chloroacetate can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. It is also highly flammable and poses significant safety hazards. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure.
