Methyl Acetate 99.5% Industrial Grade | CAS No. 79-20-9
This high-purity Methyl Acetate, with a concentration of 99.5% or higher, is a volatile and flammable solvent widely used in industrial applications. It is produced through esterification of methanol and acetic acid under strict quality control, ensuring consistent performance and low impurity levels. Methyl acetate serves as an excellent alternative to other ester solvents due to its rapid evaporation rate, low toxicity, and strong solvency. It is commonly applied in coatings, adhesives, printing inks, and paint thinners, as well as in the manufacture of cleaning agents and chemical intermediates.
Scope of Application
· Used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and printing inks for its fast evaporation and excellent dissolving properties；
· Applied in the production of adhesives, particularly in packaging and woodworking industries；
· Functions as a degreasing agent and cleaning solvent in industrial maintenance and electronics cleaning；
· Serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds.
Product Features
Methyl acetate is produced using continuous esterification and rectification processes, ensuring high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Its low toxicity and biodegradable nature make it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to many traditional solvents. The product exhibits strong solvency for a wide range of resins, including nitrocellulose, acrylics, and polyurethanes. With a mild odor and high volatility, it is ideal for applications requiring quick drying and minimal residue. The product is strictly tested using GC analysis to meet industrial quality standards.
