Moderately toxic by
intraperitoneal route. Mildly toxic by
ingestion and skin contact. An eye irritant.
Combustible when exposed to heat or
flame; can react with oxidzing materials. To
fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry
chemical. When heated to decomposition it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. | [Hazardous Substances Data]

Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Colorless liquid with a mild pleasant odor. Density 9.2 lb /gal. Flash point 191°F. Boiling point 369°F. Combustible but requires some effort to ignite. Used in the manufacture of perfumes, printing ink, lacquers and resins. | [Reactivity Profile]
ETHYLENE GLYCOL DIACETATE(111-55-7) reacts with aqueous 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 with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated with alkali metals and hydrides. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Water soluble. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation is not hazardous. Liquid causes mild irritation of eyes. Ingestion causes stupor or coma. | [Fire Hazard]
This chemical is combustible. | [Chemical Properties]
clear liquid | [Uses]
Solvent for oils, cellulose esters, explosives, etc. | [Production Methods]
Ethylene glycol diacetate is produced by direct esterification of Ethylene glycol with Acetic acid, using azeotropic conditions..
| [Flammability and Explosibility]
Notclassified | [Purification Methods]
Dry the di-ester with CaCl2, filter (excluding moisture) and fractionally distil it under reduced pressure. [Beilstein 2 IV 1541.] |
