Description
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 and in some nail varnish removers. Coffee beans and tea leaves are decaffeinated with this solvent. It is also used in paints as an activator or hardener. Ethyl acetate is present in confectionery, perfumes, and fruits. In perfumes it evaporates quickly, leaving the scent of the perfume on the skin.
6 Science Ethyl Acetate is available in 1 litre bottles to comply with regulations for shipping and in agro chemical strong and secure bottles.
