Description

N butyl acetate is used as a solvent in coatings inks and industrial formulations.

N-Butyl acetate (or butyl acetate) is a clear, flammable, colorless liquid ester with a fruity, banana-like smell, derived from butanol and acetic acid, widely used as a solvent in paints, lacquers, adhesives, and inks, and also found naturally in fruits for flavoring. It’s known for its excellent solubility, good solvency power for resins, and pleasant odor, making it useful in coatings, perfumes, and cleaning agents, but requires care due to potential respiratory and skin irritation.
