Methyl Acetate

This colorless liquid solvent, features a pleasant ester odor, low viscosity, and excellent solvency power for resins, oils, and polymers. Due to its favorable evaporation rate, Methyl Acetate is commonly used as a replacement for acetone and ethyl acetate in many industrial formulations where controlled drying is required. It demonstrates strong compatibility with nitrocellulose, acrylic resins, polyurethane systems, vinyl polymers, and cellulose derivatives, making it an ideal solvent for paints, lacquers, printing inks, and flexible packaging adhesives. From a technical perspective, Methyl Acetate offers a low boiling point, low surface tension, and good miscibility with alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons, enhancing formulation flexibility. It is also valued in pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing as a reaction solvent and extraction medium.
