Butyl Acetate 99.5% Industrial Grade | CAS No. 123-86-4
This high-purity Butyl Acetate, with a concentration of 99.5% or higher, is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, fruity ester odor. It is produced through the esterification of n-butanol and acetic acid under strict quality control measures. Butyl acetate offers excellent solvency properties, moderate evaporation rate, and low water miscibility, making it one of the most widely used solvents in the coatings and ink industries. It is particularly valued in the formulation of automotive paints, wood coatings, printing inks, and adhesives where balanced evaporation and strong solvency are required.
Scope of Application
· Used as a solvent in automotive, industrial, and wood coatings due to its balanced evaporation rate and excellent film-forming properties；
· Applied in printing inks, including gravure, flexographic, and screen printing inks, where it provides excellent resin compatibility；
· Functions as an active solvent in adhesive formulations, particularly for packaging, lamination, and pressure-sensitive adhesives；
· Serves as a process solvent in the extraction, purification, and synthesis of various organic compounds；
· Used in cleaning agents and degreasers for industrial maintenance and parts cleaning；
· Employed in the production of artificial leather, photographic films, and nail polish removers.
Product Features
Butyl acetate is manufactured using continuous esterification and rectification processes, ensuring high purity and consistent quality across all batches. The product exhibits strong solvency for a wide range of polymers, including nitrocellulose, acrylics, alkyd resins, polyesters, and vinyl resins. Its moderate evaporation rate provides excellent flow and leveling properties in coating applications while preventing defects such as blushing, orange peel, or cratering. The low water miscibility of butyl acetate enhances humidity resistance during application. The product is strictly tested using GC analysis to ensure it meets the highest industrial standards. Its mild, characteristic ester odor is widely accepted in various industrial applications.
