sec-Butyl Acetate

sec-Butyl Acetate, with the chemical formula CH₃COOCH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃, is a commonly used organic ester solvent. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor (reminiscent of pears). Its evaporation rate is between that of ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, making it a medium-boiling solvent. It exhibits good solvency power for various resins and polymers and has relatively low toxicity. It is widely used as an efficient solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and other industries.
