Isopropyl Acetate 99.5% Industrial Grade | CAS No. 108-21-4
This high-purity Isopropyl Acetate, with a concentration of 99.5% or higher, is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity ester odor. It is produced through the esterification of isopropanol and acetic acid under strict quality control measures. Isopropyl acetate offers excellent solvency properties, fast evaporation rate, and low water miscibility, making it an ideal solvent for various industrial applications. It is particularly valued in the formulation of coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and extraction processes where rapid evaporation and strong solvency are required.
Scope of Application
· Used as a solvent in flexographic, gravure, and screen printing inks due to its fast evaporation rate and excellent resin compatibility；
· Applied in coatings, including automotive, wood, and industrial finishes, where it contributes to rapid drying and film formation；
· Functions as an active solvent in adhesive formulations, particularly for packaging and pressure-sensitive adhesives；
· Serves as an extraction solvent in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing processes；
· Used in cleaning agents and degreasers for electronics and precision parts cleaning；
· Employed as a process solvent in the synthesis of various organic compounds.
Product Features
Isopropyl 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, vinyl resins, and cellulose esters. Its fast evaporation rate (faster than n-propyl acetate and n-butyl acetate) enables rapid drying in coating and ink applications, improving production efficiency. The low water miscibility of isopropyl acetate enhances humidity resistance during application and reduces the risk of blushing. The product is strictly tested using GC analysis to ensure it meets the highest industrial standards. Its pleasant, fruity odor is less pungent compared to many other ester solvents.
