Description

Acetic Acid Octyl Ester is a versatile organic ester compound, also known as octyl acetate. This clear, colorless liquid is valued for its pleasant, fruity odor and excellent solvent properties, making it a key ingredient in various industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized as a high-purity solvent, flavoring agent, and fragrance component. Key industries that rely on this compound include flavors & fragrances, coatings, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Used as a synthetic flavoring agent (FEMA 2806) to impart fruity, pear-like notes in food products and as a fragrance component in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care items.
• Industrial Solvent: Serves as an effective solvent for cellulose derivatives, resins, and oils in the formulation of paints, coatings, and inks.
• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a building block in organic synthesis for the production of more complex esters and specialty chemicals.
• Plasticizer: Employed as a co-plasticizer in certain polymer and resin systems to improve flexibility and workability.
• Adhesive Formulations: Used in the manufacture of adhesives and sealants where its solvent properties aid in formulation and application.
• Cleaning and Degreasing Agent: Found in formulations for industrial and electronic cleaners due to its ability to dissolve greases and oils.

Quality Control

Our Acetic Acid Octyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer various grades, including technical and high-purity grades suitable for flavor/fragrance (FEMA) applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, odor, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize evaporation and prevent moisture absorption.
