Ethyl acetate, CAS # 141-78-6, is a low-boiling, fast-evaporating solvent with a mild, pleasant odor. It is widely used in formulating printing inks, adhesives, and lacquers. It is a non-HAP solvent with excellent activity for most coating resins. Ethyl acetate is miscible with most organic solvents and can be used in cleaner blends for the removal of oils, grease, and soils.
