Metil Asetat – C3H6O2

Here methyl acetate ( C3H602 ) you can find basic information about: properties, health effects, detection devices and systems C3H602 gas detector  and appropriate respiratory protective equipment (gas mask or AX with gas filter powered air breathing apparatus).

Methyl acetate properties (C3H6O2)

Methyl acetate ( C3H6O2 ) is used primarily as an extractant (separation of two factors) in organic synthesis. The cosmetic industry uses methyl acetate to produce hair spray, nail polish or fragrance. It is also used in construction sites as it is a component of adhesives, paints, thinners, and paint or other strippers.

Health effects of methyl acetate

At ambient temperature, methyl acetate ( C3H6O2 ) is a colorless volatile liquid with a distinctive mild odor detectable at low concentrations (4.5 ppm). At these concentration levels It irritates the eyes and may cause drowsiness and dizziness. At high concentrations, this gas is extremely flammable, with vapors ranging from 3.1% to 16% flammable by volume. explosive can form gas mixtures.

C3H6O2 gas detector (Methyl acetate)

Although methyl acetate can be detected by smell, only one C3H6O2 gas detector can accurately measure concentrations of this gas. Methyl acetate is a volatile organic compound with an ionization capacity of 10.27 eV. Therefore a With VOC photo-ionization detector lamp detectable .

Methyl acetate respiratory protection (C3H6O2)

Since methyl acetate is highly irritating to the eyes, use a full face mask or mask for short interventions. with AX filter It is recommended to use a much more comfortable powered air respirator. If concentrations exceed 60 times the OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit), self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required.
