Butyl Acetate, also known as Ethyl Acetate or Acetic Acid Butyl Ester, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H12O2. It is a colourless, flammable liquid with a sweet smell. It is used as a solvent in a variety of industrial and consumer products such as paints, lacquers, varnishes, and nail polish removers.
Butyl Acetate is a clear colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. It is a volatile ester with a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol and a boiling point of 117.5 °C. It is soluble in alcohols, and slightly soluble in water. It is miscible with most organic solvents, and is a common solvent for many industrial and consumer products.
Butyl Acetate is produced by the esterification of acetic acid and butanol. The reaction is catalyzed by strong acids or bases and is typically done at high temperatures and low pressures. The product is then purified by distillation.
Butyl Acetate is an important solvent in the manufacture of lacquers, paints, inks, and nail polish removers. It is also used as a solvent in the production of plastics, adhesives, and synthetic fibers. It is also used as a solvent in the printing, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
Butyl Acetate is highly flammable and should be handled with care. It is recommended to use safety equipment such as goggles, gloves and protective clothing when handling the product. It can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system and can cause headache, dizziness, and nausea if inhaled.
Its CAS number is 780-69-8.
