Common Applications
-
Coatings, lacquers and inks: Ethyl acetate dissolves nitrocellulose and many resins and flashes off quickly, which suits lacquers, flexographic inks and adhesives.
-
Nail polish and personal care: It is a common solvent in nail polish and some polish removers.
-
Extraction: Ethyl acetate extracts botanicals and is used to decaffeinate coffee and tea.
-
Laboratory work: ACS ethyl acetate is a standard chromatography eluent, often paired with hexane, and an extraction solvent.
-
Greener solvent substitution: It replaces harsher solvents in many formulations.
Grade & Selection Notes
Choose ACS Grade ethyl acetate when a lab method or specification calls for reagent purity and low water and residue. Choose Technical Grade for coatings, cleaning, extraction and general solvent work.
Safety & Handling
Ethyl acetate is highly flammable (flash point about -4 °C / 24 °F). Keep containers closed, use ventilation, eliminate ignition sources, and ground and bond containers during transfer. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.
