Quick answer
For ethyl acetate, CAS 141-78-6, request the current U.S. SDS for the grade and product supplied. Match the supplier, product code and technical or reagent designation. If you sell a blend containing ethyl acetate, identify the complete formulation: the ingredient SDS does not automatically describe the blended solvent.
Where can you obtain an ethyl acetate SDS?
Use the supplier identified on the container or purchasing record. The following supplier documents illustrate grade-specific lookup:
- Alliance Chemical: Ethyl Acetate Technical Grade SDS.
- Alliance Chemical: Ethyl Acetate ACS SDS.
- Sigma-Aldrich: ethyl acetate ACS reagent, product 319902 — use the supplier’s documentation resources for that exact product.
These links point to specific supplier resources. They do not establish that another manufacturer’s grade or your own blend is covered. Ask your actual supplier for the matching current U.S. sheet when the product differs.

Which ethyl acetate product does the SDS need to describe?
A search for “ethyl acetate SDS” can return several grades and suppliers. The chemical identity is useful, but the purchasing record tells you which commercial product arrived. The NIOSH ethyl acetate entry provides a general chemical reference, not a replacement for that supplier’s product document.
| What the label or order says | What to match |
|---|---|
| Ethyl acetate, technical grade | Supplier, grade designation and corresponding SDS |
| Ethyl acetate, ACS reagent or another laboratory grade | Exact catalog code, specifications and supplier document |
| Solvent blend containing ethyl acetate | The blend’s product identifier, composition and finished-product SDS |
| Repacked material under your trade name | Source grade, product identity and the company responsible for supply |
Alliance publishes separate technical and ACS document references. Sigma-Aldrich identifies 319902 as an ACS reagent product. Those designations help locate records; they do not by themselves show whether two products have different hazard classifications.
Does a certificate of analysis replace the SDS?
The records answer different questions. A CoA connects a batch or lot to quality results or specifications. The SDS communicates product hazards and relevant protective information. Keep them connected without treating one as the other.
If a customer asks about grade, purity or water content, identify the specification and any lot-specific analysis available. If the question concerns the product SDS, keep the corresponding supplier document and product code with that record. The Alliance ACS document hub offers separate SDS and CoA resources, illustrating the different document roles.
A purity figure alone is not a complete review of a solvent formulation. Explain what the figure measures and whether it belongs to the purchased ingredient or the finished product you sell.
What if your product contains ethyl acetate and other solvents?
Define the blend before requesting an SDS. List its product name, composition record, percentage basis, physical form and intended use. Gather the current sheets for the actual ingredient grades and any available reports for the finished mixture.
The ethyl acetate supplier sheet is supporting evidence for one ingredient. It does not account for other constituents, their proportions or the finished product’s properties. Renaming it as a cleaning solvent or coating thinner does not complete that assessment.
Use the U.S. preparation workflow to organize the evidence. The finished-product comparison helps clarify what is received, mixed and supplied.
Example: distinguish a purchasing change from a blend change
A company buys ethyl acetate for a branded cleaning-solvent blend. Purchasing switches the ingredient’s supplier grade, while production also revises the blend’s solvent proportions. Keep those changes separate in the review brief:
- Obtain the replacement ingredient’s exact supplier SDS and specification.
- Identify the previous and revised blend formula references.
- Keep any available finished-product reports tied to the correct version.
- Review whether the existing blend SDS describes the revised product before issuing a replacement.
This is an illustrative document handoff. It does not assume that a grade change necessarily alters hazards, or assign the blend a flash point or transport classification.
What should you check when repackaging unchanged ethyl acetate?
Record the original supplier and grade, your product identifier and the responsible-company details on the proposed label. Clarify whether only the package and name changed or whether the product was blended, diluted or otherwise modified.
The document identity needs to remain traceable to what is supplied. The private-label handoff checklist explains the records to bring for an identification review. For an imported product, also use the U.S. responsible-party checklist.
What if a carrier questions Section 14?
Retain the submitted SDS and the exact comment. Identify whether the shipment contains the supplier’s ethyl acetate grade or your finished blend, then add the transport mode, route, quantities and packaging description.
A transport entry found on a pure-solvent reference does not automatically apply to a different formulation. Use the Houston Section 14 guide to frame the review and distinguish the document question from other shipment requirements.
For product handling and emergency decisions, use the matching current SDS and workplace procedures. Supplier references on this page help you find the document; they do not replace its full instructions.
When is an ethyl acetate SDS review enquiry useful?
For an unchanged product you purchased, begin with the supplier lookup. A review or authoring enquiry is useful when the request concerns an import, a branded or modified product, a blend without a suitable SDS, or specific feedback about an existing document.
For example: “We formulate one cleaning-solvent blend containing ethyl acetate. The ingredient supplier changed, and we have the previous SDS, revised formula record and new supplier sheet. We need to assess the update before the next customer supply.” Include your role, product count and deadline without pasting confidential composition into the initial form.
Read the U.S. SDS update guide for revision triggers, or the service comparison to define the scope.

Frequently asked questions
Locate the sheet for the exact product and catalog code you purchased. A shared chemical name does not confirm the grade or supplier match, even where some hazard information is similar.
They serve different purposes. A CoA addresses lot or quality information; the SDS communicates hazards and protective information. Ask the recipient which document is required.
It creates a review question, not an automatic conclusion. Compare the replacement grade and records with the product information supporting the existing document.
Not automatically. The blend requires its own scope and evidence assessment, including the other ingredients, proportions and available finished-product information.

What is the SDS authoring starting price?
Standard English-language SDS authoring starts at USD $99 per defined product. Review, testing, translation, localization and complex or multi-product work require a confirmed scope and quote. For an unchanged purchased product, request its existing SDS from the supplier first; this is not a paid document-download service.
