What is Ethyl Acetate? It is the organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O2. This flammable, colourless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee. Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Ethyl Acetate 99.7%, meeting the standards of the American Chemical Society (ACS), ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 500ml, 1L and 2.5L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Frequent Uses

Industrial solvent
Ethyl acetate is used primarily as a solvent and diluent, being favoured because of its low cost, low toxicity, and agreeable odour. For example, it is commonly used to clean circuit boards.

Decaffeination
In large scale production, coffee beans and tea leaves are decaffeinated with this solvent.

Fragrances
In perfumes it evaporates quickly, leaving the scent of the perfume on the skin.
