Ethyl acetate is an organic ester compound with the molecular formula C4H8O2. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet fruity odor. Ethyl Acetate, also known as Ethyl Ethanoate, is a valuable commodity chemical that is used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is mostly used as a solvent and diluent in paints, cleaning solutions, coatings, adhesives, varnishes, lacquers, and perfumes.
The paints and coatings market segment accounted for the largest share of the ethyl acetate market studied. Paints contain ethyl acetate as an activator or hardener. It is also used in coatings, adhesives, and rayon as an industrial solvent, primarily to dissolve the material. It is a common ingredient in surface coating lacquers, varnishes, and thinners.
Ethyl acetate is used in the production of a wide range of coating formulations, including urethanes, cellulosic, acrylics, epoxies, and vinyl. Nitrocellulose and cellulose varnishes, acetate lacquers, and shellacs for wood furniture and fixtures decorating ceramic objects, automotive, auto refinishing, and architectural coatings for interiors and exteriors are examples of these coatings' applications. It has high dilution ratios with aromatic and aliphatic diluents and is the least toxic of the industrial organic solvents.
