Propyl Acetate 99.5% Industrial Grade | CAS No. 109-60-4
This high-purity Propyl Acetate, with a concentration of 99.5% or higher, is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic ester odor. It is produced through the esterification of n-propanol and acetic acid under strict quality control measures. Propyl acetate offers excellent solvency properties, moderate evaporation rate, and low hygroscopicity, making it an ideal solvent for various industrial applications. It is particularly valued in the formulation of flexographic and screen printing inks, coatings, and adhesives where controlled evaporation and strong solvency are required.
Scope of Application
· Used as a solvent in flexographic, gravure, and screen printing inks due to its balanced evaporation rate and excellent resin compatibility；
· Applied in coatings, including automotive, wood, and industrial finishes, where it contributes to flow, leveling, and film formation；
· Functions as an active solvent in adhesive formulations, particularly for packaging and lamination applications；
· Serves as a process solvent in the extraction, purification, and synthesis of various organic compounds；
· Used in cleaning agents and degreasers for precision cleaning in electronics and mechanical parts.
Product Features
Propyl 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 chlorinated rubber. Its moderate evaporation rate provides excellent flow and leveling properties in coating applications while preventing defects such as blushing or orange peel. The low water miscibility of propyl acetate enhances humidity resistance during application. The product is strictly tested using GC analysis to ensure it meets the highest industrial standards. Its mild, non-persistent odor makes it preferable for applications where worker exposure and end-user experience are considerations.
