Ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6) can be stored in specific plastic containers, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or fluoroplastics. It should not be stored in other common plastic containers because it is a strong solvent that can dissolve, soften, or cause plastics like PET or PVC to crack. It is best stored in glass or metal containers.
Suitable Plastic Materials for Ethyl Acetate
| Material | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) | Suitable | Common for chemical storage |
| PP (Polypropylene) | Suitable | Good chemical resistance |
| PTFE (Teflon) | Suitable | High resistance, premium option |
Some plastics are not suitable for storing ethyl acetate:
| Material | Risk |
|---|---|
| PVC | May degrade or become brittle |
| Polystyrene (PS) | Can dissolve or crack |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | May weaken over time |

People also ask
Is ethyl acetate eco-friendly?
Ethyl acetate chemical is a compound formed by the combination of ethanol and acetic acid, and is generally considered an environmentally friendly "green" solvent because it is readily biodegradable, has low toxicity, and breaks down rapidly into natural compounds such as carbon dioxide and water.
Does ethyl acetate dissolve plastic?
It can dissolve or damage certain plastics like polystyrene.
