Safety data table related to sec-butyl acetate
sec-butyl acetate, its unique properties. The appearance is clear, or colorless and transparent, and has a special fragrant taste. This substance is used in many fields, commonly used in the manufacture of coatings and inks, as a solvent, can make coatings and inks evenly dispersed, help them better adhere to the surface of objects, and play a beautifying and protective effect.

When it comes to physical and chemical properties, its boiling point is in a specific range, according to accurate measurement, about [X] ℃. The relative density is also fixed, compared to water, about [X]. In terms of solubility, it can be miscible with a variety of organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether, etc., but the solubility in water is quite small.

Although sec-butyl acetate has practical uses, it poses a safety hazard. As far as health hazards are concerned, if inhaled inadvertently, it may cause respiratory discomfort in mild cases, such as itchy throat and cough; in severe cases, it may damage the lungs and affect respiratory function. After skin contact, it may cause irritation, causing redness, swelling and itching of the skin. In case of accidental entry into the eyes, it will cause strong irritation to the eyes and damage the eye tissue.

In view of this, during operation, protective measures are essential. When operating, be sure to ensure that the workplace is well ventilated, and volatile gases can be discharged in time with the help of ventilation equipment, such as exhaust fans, ventilation ducts, etc. Operators should wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gas masks, and choose those that can effectively filter the volatiles of sec-butyl acetate; wear protective gloves, preferably chemically resistant materials; wear protective glasses to fully protect the eyes.

Storage also requires caution. It should be placed in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, because of its flammable characteristics. The storage area should be clearly marked with warning signs to remind personnel to pay attention to safety.

The use of sec-butyl acetate should be based on safety, and it should be operated and stored in strict accordance with specifications to avoid hazards and make it better serve production and life.
