Ethyl acetate is a clear, volatile solvent with a mild, fruity smell. It dissolves many resins and evaporates quickly, which makes it a standard choice for inks, coatings and adhesives. Corofy is an ethyl acetate supplier in UAE, delivering it in drums from Dubai.
We supply ethyl acetate to printing, packaging, coatings, adhesives and general industrial customers in the UAE, the GCC, Africa and Asia. It is part of our industrial chemicals range.
Ethyl Acetate Overview
Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid. It has good solvency for nitrocellulose, many acrylic and vinyl resins and other binders, and it evaporates fast, so films dry quickly.
Its relatively low toxicity compared with many other solvents makes it popular in packaging inks and adhesives, and it is also used as an extraction and reaction solvent.
Ethyl acetate is often blended with alcohols and other solvents to adjust drying speed and solvency in ink and coating systems. It also has wide use in laboratories and in the production of other chemicals.
