| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Isooctyl acetate is a high-boiling-point acetate solvent with strong dissolving power and slow volatility. It is used as an additive in high-grade paints, coatings, and leather brighteners. It is widely used as a slow-drying solvent and leveling agent in high-end coatings, industrial inks, and adhesives, improving film gloss and coating uniformity. In leather brightener formulations, it imparts a smooth and glossy appearance to leather. It can also be used as a raw material for synthetic fragrances, and in industrial cleaning agents and resin dilution systems, compatible with various acrylic, polyurethane, and nitrocellulose resin systems. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Isooctyl acetate is a carboxylic ester. | [General Description]
A clear colorless liquid with a sweet ester odor. Flash point 171°F. Less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air. Eye contact may cause irritation. Frequent or prolonged skin contact may irritate and cause dermatitis. Vapors irritate the eyes and respiratory tract and may cause headaches and dizziness, are anesthetic and may have other central nervous system effects. Vapors may also cause liver and kidney disorder. Ingestion of the liquid into the respiratory system may cause bronchopneumonia or pulmonary edema. | [Reactivity Profile]
ISOOCTYL 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. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. |
