Butyl Acetate
n-Butyl Acetate (BA) is an ester that is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature with a characteristic ester odor, moderately volatile, colorless solvent with excellent solvency for cellulose nitrate, polymers, resins and oils. It’s miscible with all conventional solvents such as alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, glycol ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Its solubility in water is limited. Moreover, it’s an important solvent in the manufacture of paints, leather and in the chemical and allied industries.Its moderate volatility and its resistance to blushing and levelling problems such as orange-peel effects make it possible for paints with excellent levelling and gloss to be formulated.
