Ethyl Acetate

Introduction:

Ethyl Acetate is an organic ester compound with a molecular formula of C4H8O2 (commonly abbreviated as EtOAc or EA), appears as a colorless liquid. It is highly miscible with all common organic solvents (alcohols, ketones, glycols, esters), which make it a common solvent for cleaning, paint removal and coatings.

Ethyl acetate is a neutral, colorless liquid with a faint and pleasant fruity odor. It is miscible in all proportions with the common organic solvents. Ethyl acetate is an excellent solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose ethers, celluloid, chlorinated rubber, some natural resins and numerous synthetic resins such as polyvinyl acetates, polyacrylates, polystyrene (coatings) and alkyd resins as well as plasticizers, fats, waxes and oils. A mixture of ethyl acetate and 20% ethanol is a good solvent for cellulose acetate. Rubber, bitumen, polyisobutylene, polyvinyl carbazole, polyvinyl chloride (not post-chlorinated) and some natural resins (e.g., elemi, shellac, dammar and congo copal) are insoluble in ethyl acetate.

The main uses of ethyl acetate are in the manufacture of a variety of coating formulations such as epoxies, urethanes, cellulosics, acrylics, and vinyls. Applications for these coatings include nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate lacquers, varnishes and shellacs for wood furniture and fixtures, auto refinishing, decorating, ceramic objects and architectural coatings for interiors and exteriors. It is a solvent component in adhesives, spread-coating compounds for artificial leather and cleaners (paint solvents or thinners). Ethyl acetate may be used as a solvent for the isocyanate component of catalyzed lacquers. Ethyl acetate has applications as a solvent in inks for flexographic and rotogravure printing, Ethyl acetate may also be used as a gelling agent in the manufacture of powder, essences and perfumes.
