ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Product Description

Product Description-Ethyl Acetate CAS#141-78-6

Ethyl acetate is the most familiar ester to chemistry students and likely the most widely applied ester overall. Structurally, esters are derived from carboxylic acids by substituting the acidic hydrogen with an alkyl or aryl group. At room temperature, ethyl acetate is a colorless liquid with a pleasant fruity odor and a boiling point of 77°C.

Product Applications-Ethyl Acetate CAS#141-78-6

Ethyl acetate is a widely used fast-drying fatty acid ester with excellent solvency. Industrially, it dissolves nitrocellulose, various resins and synthetic rubber, and is applied in inks, adhesives, spray paints and artificial leather production; it also acts as an extractant in the food and pharmaceutical sectors, a cleaning agent for textiles and electronics, and a raw material for dyes, medicines and fragrances. In flavors and fragrances, it serves as a fresh fruity top note for perfumes and colognes, and is used to formulate fruit food flavors and alcoholic beverage flavorings. For analytical and research use, it functions as an extractant, crystallization solvent and calibration reference, supporting element detection, biochemical studies, pesticide residue analysis and organic synthesis.
