Ethyl acetate

Product Overview

Ethyl Acetate (also written acetic acid ethyl ester, ethyl ethanoate, acetic ester, acetic ether) is a colorless, volatile liquid with strong solvency power and a mild fruity smell. It is one of the most widely used organic solvents in coatings, printing inks, adhesives, cleaning agents and extraction processes. Greenchem International supplies ethyl acetate CAS 141-78-6 in industrial and higher-purity grades for global buyers.
Colorless, flammable liquid with fruity aroma. It is miscible with various organic solvents such as ether, alcohol, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, etc., and is slightly soluble in water.

Applications and Benefits

Coatings & paints: used as a fast-drying ethyl acetate solvent with excellent flow and leveling properties.
Printing inks: helps control drying speed and improve print performance.
Adhesives & sealants: used as a process solvent for resin systems.
Cleaning & extraction: effective in industrial cleaning, de-greasing, and extraction applications.
Green solvent systems: often selected as a lower-toxicity ethyl acetate green solvent in formulations that aim to reduce odor and improve workplace handling.

It can be used to dissolve nitrocellulose, ink, grease, etc., and can also be used as raw material for making paint, artificial leather, plastic products, dyes, drugs, spices, etc.

Ethyl acetate is one of the most widely used fatty acid esters. It is a quick-drying solvent with excellent solubility and is an excellent industrial solvent. It can be used for nitrocellulose, ethylcellulose, chlorinated rubber and vinyl, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyl acetate and synthetic rubber. It can also be used for liquid nitrocellulose ink for copy machines. It can be used as a solvent for adhesives and a thinner for spray paint.

It can be used as a cleaning agent in the textile industry, as a flavor extractant for special modified alcohols in the food industry, and as an extractant for pharmaceutical processes and organic acids. It is an important spice additive in the spice industry and can be used as a component of flavoring agents. Ethyl acetate is also a raw material for the manufacture of dyes, drugs and fragrances. Ethyl acetate is an efficient solvent for many types of resins and is widely used in the production of inks and artificial leather.
