Compare this material →This material’s published information has not yet been verified by a human reviewer.
Human verification concerns the stated information and scope. It is separate from an EcoSafe score, certification or safety approval.Colorless, oily liquid with a mild, fruity odor. Source-checked chemical identity with NIOSH physical-property and occupational-hazard context. Supplier grade, manufacturing origin and EcoSafe assessment require separate review.
Chemistry: Nitroethane
Listed supplier: Supplier not selected · substance baseline
Chemical identity only; purity, grade and supplier composition require separate documentation.
