Ethyl Acetate |
 | | Ethyl acetate is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. |
 | | The oral LD(50) for acute exposure to ethyl acetate is 4,935 mg/kg for rabbits and 5,620 mg/kg for rats; and the 8-hour rat inhalation LC(50) is 1600 ppm [Sax and Lewis 1989]. |
 | | Containers of ethyl acetate should be protected from physical damage and ignition sources, and should be stored separately from nitrates, strong oxidizers, strong alkalies, or strong acids, chlorosulfonic acid, lithium aluminum hydride, 2-chloromethyl furan, oleum, and potassium t-butoxide. |
