Description

Isobutyl Acetate CAS NO 110-19-0 is a clear, colorless ester solvent with a characteristic fruity odor. It is valued for its excellent solvency power, favorable evaporation rate, and compatibility with a wide range of resins and polymers. This versatile chemical is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, inks, and adhesives industries, as well as for flavor and fragrance applications.

Application

• Solvent for Coatings and Lacquers: A key component in nitrocellulose lacquers, acrylics, and vinyl resins, providing good flow and leveling properties.
• Printing Inks: Used as a solvent in flexographic and gravure inks for its rapid evaporation and good resin release.
• Adhesive Formulations: Serves as an effective solvent for contact cements and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• Flavor and Fragrance Agent: Employed as a synthetic fruit flavoring (e.g., pear, raspberry) in food products and as a fragrance component in cosmetics and perfumes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate and reaction solvent in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Cleaning and Degreasing Agent: Used in industrial cleaning formulations for its ability to dissolve oils and greases.
• Extraction Processes: Utilized as a solvent in the extraction of various natural products and active ingredients.

Quality Control

Our Isobutyl Acetate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with relevant industry standards. We can supply grades suitable for industrial, flavor & fragrance, and technical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Store away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
