Propyl acetate, also referred to as n-propyl acetate, is a clear, colorless liquid characterized by a mild, fruity scent. It is naturally present in fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, bananas, and tomatoes. This compound exhibits good solubility in a wide range of organic solvents, including alcohols, ketones, esters, and oils, but has limited solubility in water.
Propyl Acetate CAS#109-60-4 Product Application
The product also exhibits excellent solvency for a wide range of synthetic resins, including ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, styrene, and methacrylate resins. It is widely used as a solvent in organic synthesis, coatings, and printing inks, and also serves as an effective industrial dehydrating agent.
Propyl acetate is widely used as a high-performance solvent in coatings, printing inks, nitrocellulose lacquers, varnishes, and various resin formulations. It also finds applications in the flavor and fragrance industry.
With its mild odor and rapid evaporation rate, propyl acetate is commonly used in flexographic and gravure printing inks, particularly for printing on olefin and polyamide films. It is also suitable for dissolving nitrocellulose, chlorinated rubber, and thermosetting phenolic resins.
Propyl acetate has a mild fruity scent that develops into a pear-like aroma when diluted. It occurs naturally in bananas, tomatoes, raspberries, and other fruits. According to China's GB 2760-86 standard, it was approved for use as a food flavoring agent, primarily in the formulation of pear, gooseberry, and other fruit flavors. Current regulatory compliance should be verified against the applicable standards.
In addition, propyl acetate demonstrates good solvency for various synthetic resins, including ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, styrene-based resins, and methacrylate resins. Its applications extend to organic synthesis, coatings, and printing ink production, where it serves as an effective industrial solvent. It can also be used as a dehydrating agent in suitable industrial processes.
