Density of ethyl acetate: 0.902g/ml. Low toxicity, sweet taste, pungent smell at high concentration, volatile, good solubility, fast drying and wide application. It is an important organic chemical raw material and industrial solvent.

Ethyl acetate is a first-class flammable product and should be stored in a low-temperature ventilated place away from fire sources. It is usually prepared by esterification of acetic acid and ethanol in the laboratory.

Use:

Ethyl acetate is one of the most widely used fatty acid esters. It is a quick-drying solvent with excellent solubility. It is an excellent industrial solvent and can also be used as an eluent for column chromatography. It can be used for nitrocellulose, ethyl fiber, chlorinated rubber and vinyl resin, cellulose acetate, butyl acetate cellulose and synthetic rubber, and can also be used as liquid nitrocellulose ink for photocopiers.

It can be used as a solvent for adhesives and a thinner for paints. Ethyl acetate is an effective solvent for many resins, which is widely used in the production of ink and artificial leather. Used as analytical reagent, chromatographic standard substance and solvent.

It can be used as a cleaning agent in textile industry, as a flavor extractor of specially modified alcohol in food industry, and as an extractant in pharmaceutical technology and organic acids. Ethyl acetate is also a raw material for making dyes, drugs and spices.
