Isopropyl Acetate

Isopropyl acetate (CAS No.: 108-21-4) is a low-carbon ester obtained from the esterification of acetic acid and isopropanol. Its most notable characteristics are rapid evaporation, strong solvency, a pleasant odor, and relatively low toxicity. In the coatings and inks industries, it is an ideal fast-drying solvent for nitrocellulose lacquers, acrylic paints, gravure and flexographic printing inks, providing excellent flowability and drying speed, thus improving print quality. In the adhesives sector, it is a key component in manufacturing fast-drying adhesives (e.g., for tapes and labels). Its fruity aroma makes it a common ingredient in food and personal care flavorings. Furthermore, due to its high purity and strong solvency for organic substances (e.g., oils, rosin), coupled with easy evaporation and low residue, isopropyl acetate is widely used as an extraction solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, a cleaning agent for precision circuit boards in electronics, and for cleaning precision instruments. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced via the mature process of esterification of acetic acid and isopropanol followed by distillation. It achieves a purity of ≥99.0% with extremely low acid value and water content, offering stable quality to meet stringent requirements in fast-drying coatings and inks, adhesives, fragrance formulations, and high-end cleaning applications.
