Methyl acetate, also known as methyl ethanoate, is a clear, colourless, and highly flammable liquid with a fruity odour. Its chemical formula is C3H6O2, and it is commonly used as a solvent in various industries due to its low toxicity, fast evaporation rate, and pleasant odour.

Methyl acetate is used in the production of various chemicals, such as coatings, adhesives, and synthetic flavours and fragrances. It is also used as a solvent in the printing industry for inks, and in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery systems. Additionally, it is used as a blowing agent in the production of foam plastics, and as a component in some aerosol sprays.

Methyl acetate is considered to be a safe solvent, with low toxicity and minimal environmental impact. It has a relatively low boiling point, which makes it a useful solvent in applications where fast evaporation is desired. However, as with any flammable liquid, proper handling and storage procedures must be followed to prevent fire hazards.

Overall, methyl acetate is an important solvent with various industrial applications, including in the production of coatings, adhesives, synthetic flavours and fragrances, and drug delivery systems.
