General Description
Colorless liquid with a sweet ether-like odor.
Reactivity Profile
PROPYLENE GLYCOL METHYL ETHER ACETATE is an ester. 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. Incompatible with oxidizers.
Health Hazard
No significant adverse effects expected.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide may form when heated to decomposition.
