A method of reducing the decomposition of a liquid acetate comprising adding thereto about 1 to about 50 ppm of an amine soluble therein which has a pH in water between 9 and 12.
A method of increasing the storage life of a liquid acetate having the formula ##STR4## where R is aliphatic from C.sub.2 to C.sub.10, comprising adding to said liquid acetate about 30 to about 40 ppm of an amine soluble therein having a pH in water between 9 and 12 and having the formula NH.sub.2 --R.sub.1 --OH where R.sub.1 is alkyl from C.sub.1 to C.sub.4.
A composition comprising a liquid acetate and about 1 to about 50 ppm of an amine soluble therein which has a pH in water between 9 and 12.
