Product description
Ethyl Acetate is a neutral colorless liquid with a faint and pleasant fruity odor. It is miscible in all
proportions with the common organic solvents.
Dissolving power:
Ethyl Acetate is an excellent solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose ethers, celluloid, chlorinated
rubber, some natural resins and numerous synthetic resins e.g. polyvinyl acetates, polyacrylates,
polystyrene (coatings) and alkyd resins as well as plasticizers, fats, waxes and oils.
A mixture of Ethyl acetate and 20 % ethanol is a good solvent for cellulose acetate.
The following substances are insoluble:
Rubber, bitumen, polyisobutylene, polyvinyl carbazole, polyvinyl chloride (not post-chlorinated)
and some natural resins e.g. elemi, shellac, dammar and congo copal.
Possible applications
The main uses of Ethyl Acetate are in the manufacture of a variety of coating formulations such as
epoxies, urethanes, cellulosics, acrylics and vinyls. Applications for these coatings are numerous
including nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate lacquers, varnishes and shellacs for wood furniture
and fixtures, auto refinishing, decorating ceramic objects, and architectural coatings for interiors
and exteriors. It is a solvent component in adhesives, in spread-coating compounds for artificial
leather, and in cleaners (paint solvents or thinners). Ethyl Acetate may be used as a solvent for the
isocyanate component of catalyzed lacquers.
Due to its low toxicity and agreeable odor, Ethyl Acetate has applications as a solvent in inks for
flexographic and rotogravure printing, where its main function is to dissolve the resin, control the
viscosity and modify the drying rate. Ethyl acetate can also be used for preparing wool fabrics for
dying. It may be used in organic syntheses (esters, drugs), and as an extraction solvent in the
production of pharmaceuticals and foods.

Ethyl Acetate
Ethyl Acetate may also be used as a gelling agent in the manufacture of powder, in the
manufacture of essences and perfumes, as a denaturant, as an auxiliary in the manufacture of
glazed and transparent paper, and as an additive to polishes. In the construction sector, Ethyl
Acetate may be used as a hardener for the alkali-sodium silicate stabilizer (alkali silicates)
employed in soil stabilization by the soil injection technique.
