Ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6) does not chemically react with all plastics, but it can dissolve, soften, or degrade certain types of plastic. It is compatible with materials like HDPE, PP, and PTFE, but may damage plastics such as polystyrene, PVC, and polycarbonate.
In most cases, ethyl acetate liquid does not cause a chemical reaction, but instead:
- Acts as an organic solvent
- Breaks down or softens certain polymers
- Causes swelling, cracking, or dissolution
