Safety precautions for the use of ethyl acetate
When using ethyl acetate, all safety matters should not be ignored.

Ethyl acetate is volatile and its gas is flammable. Therefore, the place where it is used should avoid open flames and hot topics, and do not have fire sources close to it to prevent the risk of deflagration. Ventilation equipment should be installed indoors to circulate the air and prevent its gas accumulation.

When handling this object, wear protective equipment. Wear goggles to protect your eyes from splashing liquid; wear protective gloves to prevent skin contact. Wear protective clothing to protect the whole body in case.

If storing ethyl acetate, choose a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from fire and heat sources, and store them separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc. Do not mix them to avoid biochemical reactions and cause emergencies.

When handling, handle them with care to avoid damage to their containers. If you accidentally spill, leave the scene quickly and go to a safe place, and fire is strictly prohibited. Emergency responders cut off the fire source first, and then clean it up. Small amounts of sprinklers can be adsorbed by sand, vermiculite, etc. When a large amount is sprinkled, the embankment is blocked to prevent explosion boiling and diffusion, and then moved to a tanker or a special collector with an explosion-proof pump, recycled or transported to a waste treatment site for disposal.

All of these are safety guidelines to be followed when using ethyl acetate, and they should be followed carefully to ensure safe operation.
