Product Description
Product Overview
Methyl Acetate offers fast evaporation and good solvency for a range of organic materials. Its low boiling point, around 57°C, makes it useful where rapid solvent release is required. The 99% grade provides higher purity for applications with tighter formulation requirements, while lower-purity grades can serve suitable general industrial applications.

Titan Prime Alliance Inc. supports international buyers in sourcing Methyl Acetate according to required purity, packaging, technical specifications and shipment terms.
Indications
Methyl Acetate may be considered when a buyer requires:
- A fast-evaporating industrial solvent
- Controlled purity for solvent-based formulations
- A raw material for resin, adhesive or coating production
- Consistent quality supported by batch documentation
- Export supply in drums, IBCs or bulk formats
Handling, Storage and Shipping
Methyl Acetate is a highly flammable liquid. Storage and handling should follow the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS), local regulations and dangerous-goods requirements. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area and away from heat, sparks and ignition sources. Methyl Acetate is commonly transported as UN 1231, Class 3, Packing Group II, subject to the applicable transport regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both are Methyl Acetate products, but they differ in purity and impurity profile. The 99% grade is intended for applications requiring tighter purity control, while 85% can be used where a lower-purity specification is acceptable
The appropriate grade depends on the formulation and required specification. 99% Methyl Acetate is generally more suitable where purity and impurity control are important, while 85% may be appropriate for less demanding industrial applications
Yes. Methyl Acetate is classified as UN 1231, Class 3 – Flammable Liquid, Packing Group II and requires appropriate dangerous-goods handling, packaging and documentation during transportation.
Buyers should confirm the required purity, water content, impurity limits, packaging, quantity, destination and applicable SDS/TDS documentation. The specification should be matched to the intended application before order confirmation
