Hazard Predictions

Ethyl acetate forms explosive mixtures with peroxides (Schierwater, F-W. 1981. Jahresberichte. pp. 77).

Solutions of dibenzoyl peroxide can react violently with methylmethacrylate (MCA Case History No. 996, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, Manufacturing Chemists' Association; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 392), vinyl acetate and ethyl acetate (Fire Protection Manual for Hydrocarbon Processing Plants, Vervalin, C. H. (Ed.), Houston, Gulf Publishing Co., 2nd Edition, 1973, pp. 81; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 392.), producing flammable gases and fire conditions. Methylmethacrylate and vinyl acetate can both be polymerized, so they also present an additional polymerization hazard.

Organic peroxides may decompose in the presence of esters to yield flammable hydrocarbon and O2 and inert CO2 gases (Predicted).
