Ethyle Acetate / Butyl Acetate

Additional Details

Available with us is pure Butyl Acetate that is also known as butyl ethanoate. It is an organic compound that is normally used as a solvent for producing lacquers and other products. Apart from this, it is also used as a synthetic fruit flavoring in various food items such as ice-cream, baked goods, cheeses and candy. Moreover, Butyl Acetate is also found in a large variety of fruits, where it lends a characteristic flavor to the fruit along with other chemicals. Apples, particularly, of the variety known as Red Delicious, are partly flavored by this chemical. Having a sweet smell of banana, Butyl Acetate is a flammable, colorless liquid.

We supply our clients with quality, pure and effective Ethyl Acetate that is basically used as a diluent and solvent, due to its features of low toxicity and agreeable odor, apart from economical price. For instance, the chemical is usually applied for cleaning circuit boards and also found in some nail varnish removers (acetone and acetonitrile are also used). Ethyl Acetate is used for decaffeinating tea leaves and coffee beans. It also finds application as an activator or hardener in paints. Further, this chemical is also present in fruits and confectionery items, apart from perfumes where it rapidly evaporates, leaving just the scent of the perfume on the skin.
