Isopropyl Acetate 99.98% ACS Grade

Why Isopropyl Acetate 99.98% ACS Grade

Buyers specify Isopropyl Acetate 99.98% ACS Grade (CAS: 108-21-4) when their processes demand a highly volatile, colorless liquid solvent that adheres to the strict analytical specifications established by the American Chemical Society. Represented by the formula CH3COOCH(CH3)2, this ester provides targeted solvency power and a consistent evaporation profile driven by its low flash point of 11°C. Because it is soluble in water, alcohols, ethers, and other organic solvents, it integrates cleanly into complex industrial formulations and rigorous extraction methodologies. The guaranteed 99.98% concentration ensures near-zero trace impurities, making this exact grade critical for technical buyers requiring a zero-residue evaporation profile and strict batch-to-batch chemical consistency in analytical or advanced manufacturing environments.

Best Applications for This Grade

• Commonly applied in analytical laboratory testing and quality assurance workflows, where the ACS certification prevents baseline interference during chromatography and ensures accurate spectral readings.
• Commonly applied in specialty industrial coatings, automotive finishes, and printing inks that require a fast-evaporating ester solvent to dissolve resins while maintaining strictly controlled drying times.
• Commonly applied in precision electronics manufacturing and critical component maintenance, acting as a zero-residue solvent that breaks down organic materials and flux before flashing off completely.
• Commonly applied in wastewater diagnostics and specific organic chemical extraction processes, leveraging its broad solubility profile to isolate targeted compounds without introducing external contaminants.

When to Choose a Different Grade

• If your industrial manufacturing process requires the fast evaporation and solvency power of this exact ester but does not mandate strict American Chemical Society laboratory certifications, select Isopropyl Acetate 99.98%.
• If your analytical procedures or laboratory extractions require an ultra-pure primary alcohol rather than an acetate ester, choose Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% ACS Reagent Grade to achieve the correct chemical reactivity.
• If your maintenance teams need a cost-effective cleaning agent for general surface degreasing where analytical purity and strict zero-residue guarantees are not operational requirements, choose Isopropyl Alcohol 99% - Technical Grade.
