Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Amyl Acetate ACS Grade is a clear, colorless liquid ester (CAS 628-63-7) utilized primarily as a solvent in industrial and laboratory applications. This ACS-grade pentyl ethanoate is selected for precise analytical and manufacturing processes due to its favorable volatility and compatibility with a wide range of substrates. With a high typical assay and stringent impurity control, it delivers consistent performance in coatings, lacquers, and chemical processing.

The product exhibits a logarithmic balance of solvency and evaporation rate, enabling reliable results in chromatographic separations and coating formulations. Its low acidity minimizes interference in sensitive methods, making it suitable for quality control and research environments. This solvent is compatible with HDPE and glass containment and offers predictable evaporation characteristics suitable for controlled delivery in precision processes.

Safety Precautions

Handling and storage should follow standard chemical hygiene practices. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames in compatible containers (HDPE or glass). Ensure adequate ventilation to control vapor buildup and minimize inhalation exposure. Wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles, when handling. Use grounded equipment and avoid contact with strong oxidizers and acids.

Review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed emergency procedures before use. The substance is flammable and may cause irritation to eyes and skin. Transport information: UN 1104, Amyl Acetate, Class 3, Packing Group II.
