Product Name : Butyl Acetate
Synonyms : 1-Acetoxybutane; 1-Butyl acetate; Acetic Acid Butyl Ester; Butile; Butyl Ethanoate; Butylacetate; Normal butyl acetate; Acetic acid butyl ester.
About the product : Butyl Acetate, an organic compound, is a colourless flammable liquid. Commonly found in fruits, the compound has a fruity smell and taste similar to banana. It is a volatile liquid and dissolves easily in water. Due to its powerful solvency, high volatility and mild odor, acetates are widely used in the manufacture and in the processing of paints, coatings, adhesives, and printing industry. Butyl acetate market is reliant on its feedstock n-butanol.
