Butyl Acetate

Formula: C₆H₁₂O₂ GOST/CAS: ГОСТ 8981-78 / CAS 123-86-4

Butyl acetate (normal butyl acetate) is a colorless, transparent, flammable liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. It is one of the most highly demanded and versatile organic solvents with excellent dissolving power. Butyl acetate effectively works with cellulose nitrates, polymers, resins, oils, and fats. Thanks to its optimal evaporation rate, it prevents film blushing and ensures a smooth, high-quality finish. This makes it an indispensable component in the production of modern paints and coatings, as well as in pharmaceuticals and chemical synthesis.

Applications

Paints & Coatings Production: The primary solvent for nitrocellulose, polyurethane, and polyacrylic varnishes, paints, and enamels.

Cosmetics & Perfumery: Widely used in the production of nail polishes and as a solvent for perfume compositions.

Pharmaceuticals & Chemical Synthesis: Used as an extractant in the production of antibiotics and other pharmaceutical products.

Adhesives & Plasticizers: An effective component in the manufacture of various adhesive mixtures, mastics, and artificial leather.

Key Advantages

Excellent Dissolving Power: Effectively works with a wide range of synthetic and natural resins.

Optimal Volatility: Ensures uniform drying of paint coatings without forming defects (blushing).

Versatility of Application: Highly demanded in various industries — from heavy chemical manufacturing to cosmetology.

Quality Stability: Fully complies with strict standards (GOST) for use in high-tech processes.

Storage & Transportation

Store in specially equipped, well-ventilated warehouses designated for flammable substances.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, static electricity, and open flames.
Ensure the containers are tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
