Key Features and Benefits

Ethyl Acetate boasts excellent solvency power, making it a valuable choice for industrial applications where dissolution of resins, cellulosics, and polymers is required. Its low toxicity and neutral pH allow for safer handling under appropriate precautions. The solvents high purity and miscibility with many organics provide enhanced performance in high-demand manufacturing and extraction processes.

Applications Across Industries

This solvent finds widespread use in the manufacture of paints, coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. The food industry also utilizes Ethyl Acetate in the creation of synthetic flavors. Its efficiency as an extractant and solvent adds value in processes that demand purity and consistency, meeting the needs of manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers.

FAQs of ETHYL ACETATE:

Q: How should Ethyl Acetate be safely handled and stored?

A: Ethyl Acetate should be stored in tightly sealed containers, away from heat, sparks, and open flames, due to its flammable nature. Keep it in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry area. Avoid inhaling vapors and prevent skin and eye contact by using appropriate personal protective equipment.

Q: What are the main industrial uses of Ethyl Acetate?

A: It is primarily used as a solvent in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and as an extractant in pharmaceutical and food manufacturing. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances makes it invaluable across these industries.

Q: When does Ethyl Acetate reach its boiling point and what is its significance?

A: Ethyl Acetate boils at 77.1C. Reaching this temperature causes the solvent to vaporize, which is important for processing applications such as distillation and evaporation during manufacturing.

Q: Where is Ethyl Acetate commonly distributed or available in India?

A: It is available through various distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers across India. Packaging is typically offered in drums, tankers, or jerry cans, depending on the requirements.

Q: What precautions are necessary when using Ethyl Acetate in industrial processes?

A: Since Ethyl Acetate is classified as a flammable liquid, it is vital to use it away from ignition sources and to implement suitable ventilation. Although the toxicity is low, it may irritate skin, eyes, and the respiratory tract, so personal protective equipment is recommended.

Q: How long can Ethyl Acetate be stored without quality loss?

A: Under recommended storage conditionssealed, cool, and protected from direct sunlightEthyl Acetate remains stable and retains its quality for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
