Description

Isopentyl Acetate is a clear, colorless ester with a characteristic fruity, banana-like odor, widely recognized by its CAS number 123-92-2. It serves as a highly effective and versatile solvent and flavor/fragrance agent, prized for its excellent solvency and pleasant aroma. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, coatings, and chemical synthesis industries seeking a reliable, high-purity ingredient.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance Agent: A primary component in artificial banana, pear, and apple flavors for food products, beverages, and confectionery, and as a top note in perfumes and personal care items.
• Solvent for Coatings and Inks: An effective solvent for cellulose derivatives, resins, and oils used in lacquers, paints, printing inks, and nail polish removers due to its favorable evaporation rate.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Used as a starting material or reagent in organic synthesis for producing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
• Extraction Solvent: Employed in the extraction of essential oils and other natural products in laboratory and industrial processes.
• Laboratory Reagent: Utilized as a standard or solvent in analytical chemistry and research laboratories.
