Products Description of sec-Butyl Acetate CAS#105-46-4
Sec-butyl acetate (also referred to by the same name) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a fruity scent. It boasts diverse applications, serving as a fragrance ingredient, pharmaceutical raw material, solvent, metal cleaner, reaction medium, and extractant.In recent years, global environmental protection requirements for chemicals have become increasingly strict. This has led to a growing tendency to reduce the use of solvents like toluene, xylene, and ketones. The current development direction focuses on developing resin coatings and using oxygen-containing solvents—such as acetates—to replace aromatic hydrocarbons and ketones in volatile coating formulations. Sec-butyl acetate perfectly aligns with this trend.

Product Application of sec-Butyl Acetate CAS#105-46-4
Sec-butyl acetate exhibits excellent solubility for a wide range of substances, making it a versatile solvent in industrial applications. It is commonly used in the production of nitrocellulose paints, acrylic paints, polyurethane paints, and other coating products—these paints are further applied as aircraft wing coatings, artificial leather coatings, automotive coatings, and more.Beyond coatings, it also plays a role in the manufacturing process of products like celluloid items, rubber, safety glass, coated paper, and patent leather. In the printing industry, it serves as a volatile solvent in printing inks, suitable for offset printing and similar applications. Additionally, it functions as a quick-drying agent for photosensitive materials.In the pharmaceutical field, sec-butyl acetate is utilized for penicillin refinement. Thanks to its moderate volatility and good skin permeability, it can also act as a component to promote drug absorption.
