Product Description
Isobutyl acetate, also known as 2-butyl acetate, is a colorless, transparent, flammable liquid with a fruity odor. It is a high-quality, environmentally friendly solvent with a medium boiling point, characterized by a broad solubility range, strong diluting power, balanced volatility, and chemical stability. Offering excellent value for money, it can replace traditional solvents such as ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, and toluene. It is widely used in industries including coatings, inks, adhesives, industrial cleaning, and organic synthesis, making it the preferred raw material for industrial cost reduction and environmental upgrades.
