Sec-Butyl Acetate

Sec-Butyl Acetate, with the chemical formula CH₃COOCH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃, is a high-performance medium-boiling organic ester solvent. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with a pleasant, banana-like fruity odor. It features a favorable evaporation rate, excellent solvency power, and a relatively higher flash point, making it outstanding in dissolving nitrocellulose and various synthetic resins. Its evaporation rate falls between that of ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. It is a widely used environmentally friendly solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and other industries.

Safety Precautions


  1. Health Hazards:
    · Irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system
    · Inhalation of high concentration vapor may cause CNS depression symptoms like dizziness, headache, drowsiness, nausea
    · Repeated skin contact may cause dryness, defatting and dermatitis
    · Harmful if swallowed

  2. Handling Protection:
    · Handle in a well-ventilated area. Use local exhaust ventilation if needed.
    · Wear chemical safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves
    · Use an organic vapor respirator if air concentrations are significant
    · Avoid contact with skin and eyes
    · Do not eat, drink or smoke in work area

  3. Storage & Transportation:
    · Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep containers tightly closed
    · Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and hot surfaces
    · Store separately from strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases
    · Use explosion-proof equipment and tools
    · Containers must be properly grounded to prevent static accumulation
