Turkey's strategic location and competitive manufacturing costs make it an ideal sourcing destination for buyers in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Our ethyl acetate is manufactured using advanced production technology and rigorous quality control to ensure consistent high purity and performance.

The compound's excellent solvency, low toxicity, and moderate evaporation rate make it the preferred choice across diverse industries from coatings to pharmaceuticals. LEEF Kimya maintains long-term partnerships with leading manufacturers to ensure stable supply and competitive pricing for our global customers.

Technical Specifications

Each specification is critical for industrial applications. The high purity level of 99.9% ensures maximum effectiveness and minimal impurities. Low water content prevents hydrolysis and maintains product stability. Strict acidity control prevents unwanted reactions and equipment corrosion. The colorless appearance (Pt-Co ≤10) is essential for coating applications. Specific gravity and boiling point specifications confirm product authenticity and proper composition.

Key Features and Benefits

• Superior solvency power with Kauri-Butanol value of 48, enabling excellent dissolution of various resins, polymers, and active ingredients for optimal performance in coating and adhesive applications.
• Moderate evaporation rate (relative evaporation rate 4.1) provides ideal balance between drying speed and workability, ensuring uniform film formation in coating processes and controlled drying in industrial applications.
• Low surface tension of 23.9 dynes/cm facilitates excellent wetting and spreading properties, crucial for achieving smooth, defect-free coatings and ensuring thorough cleaning in industrial processes.
• Exceptional chemical stability with minimal tendency to form peroxides, ensuring extended shelf life and consistent performance throughout the product's lifecycle in various industrial applications.
• High purity grade with minimal sulfur and halogen content makes it suitable for electronic cleaning applications where residual contamination must be strictly controlled.
• Low toxicity profile and biodegradability make it an environmentally responsible choice compared to other industrial solvents, meeting growing sustainability requirements.
• Excellent miscibility with most organic solvents enables versatile formulation options in coatings, inks, and adhesives, providing formulators with greater flexibility.
• Cost-effective alternative to other ester solvents while maintaining high performance standards, helping manufacturers optimize their production costs.

Applications and Uses

In the coatings industry, ethyl acetate serves as a primary solvent for various formulations including, acrylic coatings, and epoxy primers. Its moderate evaporation rate ensures optimal film formation while preventing common coating defects like blushing or orange peel effect.

For pharmaceutical applications, our high-purity ethyl acetate is extensively used in the extraction and purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It meets stringent pharmaceutical industry requirements and is commonly used as a reaction medium in organic synthesis.

In the food industry, ethyl acetate finds application as an extraction solvent for decaffeination of coffee and tea, and in the production of food flavors and essences. Our product complies with relevant food-grade specifications and regulatory requirements.

The printing industry relies on ethyl acetate as a key component in flexographic and rotogravure printing inks. Its fast evaporation rate and excellent solvent properties ensure quick drying and high-quality print results.

In adhesive manufacturing, ethyl acetate is crucial for producing various adhesive formulations, particularly in the packaging industry. It provides excellent solvency for adhesive resins while ensuring quick setting times.

The electronics industry uses high-purity ethyl acetate for cleaning and degreasing electronic components. Its low residue characteristics and controlled impurity profile make it ideal for sensitive electronic applications.
