Is ethyl acetate (EtOAc) a safe solvent?

Ethyl acetate (EtOAc) is a widely used solvent that's considered relatively low in toxicity but is not completely safe.

It is highly flammable, it can be toxic when either ingested or inhaled, and it can cause irritation when it comes into contact with the eyes.

 

HAZARDS Control:

  • Extreme Flammability: Requires strict control of ignition sources.
  • Vapor Exposure: Requires good ventilation to prevent narcotic effects.
  • Irritation: Requires use of gloves and eye protection.
  • Safety depends entirely on following proper handling procedures, using engineering controls (ventilation), and wearing correct PPE.
