Methyl Acetate CAS 79-20-9
Product introduction
Methyl Acetate is a fast-evaporating fast drying solvent with excellent dissolving power, low toxicity, and outstanding drying efficiency. Widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and industrial cleaning, it helps manufacturers improve productivity, reduce residue, and achieve high-performance formulation results in modern chemical applications.
Product overview
Methyl Acetate, also known as Acetic Acid Methyl Ester, is a colorless, transparent, and highly volatile fast drying solvent with the molecular formula C₃H₆O₂. As an important acetate ester solvent, it is widely used in coatings, paints, printing inks, adhesives, pharmaceutical intermediates, and industrial cleaning formulations.
Due to its excellent solvency, rapid evaporation rate, low surface tension, and environmentally friendly characteristics, the product has become a preferred industrial solvent in modern chemical manufacturing. It provides efficient dissolution for various resins and polymers while supporting faster production cycles and improved product surface quality.
Features: Trusted Across Diverse Industries
Methyl acetate boasts outstanding dissolving capacity toward diverse organic substances, covering acrylic resins, nitrocellulose, polyurethane materials, pigments, grease and industrial auxiliary agents. With a boiling point around 57°C, it evaporates swiftly, perfectly fitting the preparation of quick-drying industrial products.
It possesses low viscosity and superior fluidity, and enjoys great compatibility with coatings and inks. Applied to industrial cleaning, it can efficiently eliminate grease, resin deposits and impurities, leaving barely any residual solvent on surfaces.
Advantages: Trusted Across Diverse Industries
Compared with conventional industrial solvents, the product delivers quicker drying performance and higher processing efficiency, allowing manufacturers to cut production cycles and lower energy costs. Its favorable volatility helps form uniform coating films with elevated surface gloss and stronger adhesive strength. For producers of printing inks and adhesives, this solvent stabilizes formula composition and ensures steady production quality. Its broad compatibility with various resin systems streamlines formula tuning and curbs material waste. With milder environmental footprint and superior VOC characteristics relative to heavy-duty solvents, methyl acetate stands out as an eco-friendly fast drying solvent for extensive industrial use.
Evidence: Proven Value in Modern Chemical Manufacturing
Methyl acetate is widely acclaimed across coatings, inks, pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors, thanks to its powerful solvency and rapid drying properties. Numerous manufacturers adopt this fast drying solvent to boost coating efficiency, refine drying effects and cut production energy expenditure. We adopt sophisticated distillation techniques, rigorous quality testing and stringent batch management protocols, guaranteeing all goods comply with international industrial specifications. Backed by abundant export experience and steady global supply capacity, our products are well delivered to clients in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other overseas regions.
