1.General Description: A water-white liquid. Insoluble in water and is less dense than water. Flash point 180°F. Used as a solvent and in perfumes. Liquid or vapors may irritate skin and eyes. Vapors have a fruity, pleasant odor.
2.Air & Water Reactions: Insoluble in water.
3.Reactivity Profile: 2-Ethylhexyl acetate (CAS NO.103-09-3) is an ester. As an ester, the hydrolysis of 2-ethylhexyl acetate can also occur by using Candida cylindracea ATCC 14830. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause vigorous reaction .
4.Health Hazard :Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.
5.Fire Hazard: Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.
