Product introduction

 

sec-Butyl Acetate (CAS 105-46-4) is a high-grade low odor solvent from the esters family. It delivers consistent solvency, controlled evaporation, and eco-friendly performance for coatings, inks, and adhesives, with stable quality and full regulatory compliance.

 

Product overview

 

sec-Butyl Acetate, also known as acetic acid sec-butyl ester with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₂ and CAS number 105-46-4, is a colorless, clear liquid categorized as an ester solvent and a premium low odor solvent. It is produced via precise catalytic esterification of sec-butanol and acetic acid, resulting in a well-balanced chemical structure that meets the demands of modern industrial formulation.

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

sec-Butyl Acetate features a mild, low odor solvent that comes from its branched carbon chain structure, which reduces volatile irritants and avoids the harsh smell of traditional aromatic solvents. It maintains high chemical stability due to its stable ester linkage, resisting hydrolysis and oxidation under normal storage and application conditions. The solvent also has a moderate evaporation rate and strong solvency power, allowing it to dissolve acrylic, alkyd, and epoxy resins effectively without causing formulation instability.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 solvents, sec-Butyl Acetate offers significant environmental and performance advantages. It meets REACH and RoHS standards, with VOC emissions reduced by over 70% versus xylene, making it a sustainable choice for global supply chains. Its balanced evaporation rate is approximately 1.1 times faster than regular butyl acetate, shortening drying cycles without causing film defects. Additionally, it has low toxicity and high purity above 99.0%, ensuring consistent batch performance and easy compliance with workplace safety regulations.

Evidence: Proven Value in Modern Chemical Manufacturing

Our sec-Butyl Acetate is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management systems, with each batch tested for purity, moisture, and impurities, and accompanied by a detailed Certificate of Analysis. It has been widely used by more than 200 manufacturers across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe. A well-known coating producer reported a 22% reduction in drying time and a 30% drop in workplace odor after switching to our product, confirming its reliable performance and value in real-world production.
