Ethyl Acetate
Ethyl acetate (also known as acetic acid ethyl ester), acetic ether, acetoethane and it is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H4O2. It is a clear, colorless liquid that smells like fruit and is similar to some glues or lacquers. It is highly flammable and its ignition temperature is -4 degrees Celsius. Increasing the temperature increases its solubility in water. It is important as one of the best solvents with low boiling point and high evaporation rate
Ethyl acetate Applications
Ethyl Acetate is used as a solvent in the production of nitrocellulose varnishes, adhesives and coatings suitable for synthetic leather. It is used in the preparation of esters, pharmaceuticals, water extraction agents from food. It is using as gelling agents in the production of gunpowder, essential oils and applying for perfumes in the perfume industry, cleaning agents and paint solvents.
