Butyl acetate

CAS:141-78-6

Description:
A colorless, highly volatile liquid with a pronounced, sharp odor and a low-toxicity classification. This fast-evaporating organic solvent delivers reliable performance across multiple sectors, combining effective dissolving power with a favorable safety profile for routine industrial handling.

Key Uses:
  • Resins & Protective Coatings. Efficiently dissolves polyurethane, nitrocellulose, and cellulose acetate, along with natural fats and waxes—making it ideal for formulating lacquers, varnishes, and functional coating systems.
  • Artificial Leather & Textile Laminates. Applied in synthetic leather production to ensure uniform binder distribution, smooth surface finish, and consistent mechanical properties in the final material.
  • Electronics Manufacturing. Used for precision cleaning of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic components, effectively removing flux, adhesives, and organic residues without compromising circuit integrity.
  • Flavor & Aroma Formulations. Occasionally added to fruit essences and fragrance blends owing to its naturally fruity scent, enhancing authenticity in food, beverage, and cosmetic applications.
  • Extraction & Purification Processes. Functions as a selective solvent in liquid-liquid extraction and separation techniques, supporting efficient recovery of target compounds in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical processing workflows.
