Application

Butyl acetate is an important organic compound widely used in various industrial fields. The following are its main uses:
Coating industry:
As a solvent, butyl acetate can dissolve film-forming substances such as alkyd resin, polyurethane resin, and acrylic resin, providing good leveling properties and helping to form a smooth and uniform coating surface. Its moderate volatilization rate can reduce pinholes or bubbles, while the fruity aroma can improve the user experience. ‌
Printing industry:
In ink production, Butyl acetate is used as a solvent or diluent to adjust viscosity and drying speed, improve ink adhesion and drying performance, and ensure the quality of printed materials. ‌
Pharmaceutical industry:

Solvent: Butyl acetate is used for drug synthesis and formulation preparation, such as antibiotic production. ‌
Laboratory use: Butyl acetate is used for extracting and separating bioactive components in chemical analysis and experiments. ‌
Medical equipment: Butyl acetate can assist in cleaning and disinfection. ‌
Adhesives and cleaning agents:
Butyl acetate can improve the flowability of adhesives and enhance curing performance; Butyl acetate is used for industrial and household cleaning to remove grease, paint, and coating residues. ‌
Food industry:
As a spice ingredient, Butyl acetate is widely used to prepare fruit edible essence(such as bananas, peaches, strawberries, etc.), which has strong diffusivity and is suitable for use as a head fragrance. ‌
Other areas:
Artificial leather: Butyl acetate is used as finishing agent solvent for knitted foam artificial leather. ‌
Plastic and rubber: Butyl acetate is used as a solvent or degreaser to dissolve materials such as rosin and polyvinyl chloride. ‌

Storage

Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from sources of fire and heat, and the storage temperature should not exceed 30°C. Store separately from oxidants, acids and bases to avoid mixing storage.
