Properties and Usage:
Methyl acetate (CAS 79-20-9) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, fruity smell. Due to its excellent solubility and volatility, methyl acetate has become an ideal solvent for many industrial products.
1. Paint and cleaning agent industry
Methyl acetate is used as an efficient solvent in paints and cleaning agents, which can quickly dissolve resins and paints and reduce residues and odors. Its high volatility makes the paint dry faster and is used in various paints and cleaning agents, improving the product's effectiveness and ease of use.
2. Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
As an important chemical intermediate, methyl acetate is used to synthesize chemicals such as acetic acid, ethanol, and acetate esters. In addition, it is also commonly used in drug synthesis and extraction processes, especially in the production of antibiotics, vitamins and other active ingredients.
3. Food and flavor industry
Methyl acetate has a sweet, fruity smell and is often used in flavor manufacturing, which can effectively enhance the flavor of the product.
4. Electronics industry
In the manufacture of electronic products, methyl acetate is used as an efficient cleaning agent, especially for cleaning circuit boards and removing solder residues. Its excellent solubility and volatility ensure the high quality and reliability of electronic products.
5. Inks and Adhesives
As a solvent in inks and adhesives, methyl acetate optimizes the adhesion and coating effect of these materials, improves the performance of the final product, and is used in the packaging and printing industries.
6. Daily Chemical Products
Due to its low toxicity and fast volatility, methyl acetate is commonly used in the formulation of disinfectants and skin care products.
