Ethyl Acetate Supplier China | CAS 141-78-6 | Industrial ≥99.9%

Ethyl Acetate Product Overview

Ethyl Acetate is a volatile ester solvent valued for rapid evaporation, broad solvency and compatibility with many coating, ink and adhesive systems. It is also used as an extraction and process solvent. Commercial suitability depends on more than assay: water, acidity, color, alcohol content and non-volatile residue can affect sensitive formulations and downstream recovery.

Typical Industrial Applications

• Coatings and lacquers: fast-evaporating solvent for selected acrylic, nitrocellulose and other resin systems.
• Printing inks: solvent and viscosity-adjustment component where rapid drying is required.
• Adhesives: process and formulation solvent for compatible polymer systems.
• Extraction and purification: phase-compatible solvent used in selected pharmaceutical, fine-chemical and natural-product processes.
• Chemical processing: reaction, cleaning and crystallization solvent where its volatility and solvency fit the process.

Quality Parameters Buyers Should Compare

Purity is only the starting point. Water can influence hydrolysis-sensitive systems, acidity may affect resin stability, and non-volatile residue can matter in coatings or precision processes. Buyers should align analytical methods before comparing quotations.

• Ethyl Acetate assay and test method
• Water content
• Acidity reported as acetic acid
• Color and visual appearance
• Ethanol and other volatile impurities where relevant
• Non-volatile residue for residue-sensitive applications

Industrial Grade, Food Grade and Pharmacopeial Grade

These designations are not interchangeable. A high assay does not by itself establish food-contact, flavor, pharmaceutical or pharmacopeial compliance. Such uses require the appropriate grade, impurity profile, manufacturing controls and regulatory documentation. This page describes an industrial solvent grade unless a different grade is explicitly confirmed in writing.

Packaging, Storage and Transport

Packaging availability depends on quantity, route and destination requirements. Common commercial arrangements may include suitable drums, ISO tanks or other approved bulk containers. Store in tightly closed compatible containers, away from heat, ignition sources and incompatible materials. Use grounding, ventilation and controls specified by the current SDS and site risk assessment.

Documents and Quotation Information

Provide the required purity, water and acidity limits, application, order quantity, destination country or port, packaging preference and required documents. Xinchen can coordinate specification review, recent batch COA, SDS/TDS and export-feasibility confirmation for qualified inquiries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CAS 141-78-6 Ethyl Acetate?

Yes. CAS 141-78-6 identifies Ethyl Acetate, also known as Ethyl Ethanoate or Acetic Acid Ethyl Ester.

Is ≥99.9% industrial grade automatically food grade?

No. Grade suitability depends on impurity limits, production controls and regulatory documentation, not assay alone.

Which COA values matter besides purity?

Water, acidity, color, volatile impurities and non-volatile residue are common comparison points, depending on the application.

Safety note: Ethyl Acetate is a highly flammable liquid and vapor. This page is general B2B information and does not replace the current SDS or site-specific controls.
