What is Butyl Acetate?

Butyl acetate, an organic compound known for its fruity odor, is commonly used as a solvent in the production of paints and coatings. It is also found in adhesives, inks, and cosmetics. With the formula C6H12O2, butyl acetate is appreciated not only for its effective solvency properties but also for its relatively low toxicity.

Manufacturing Process

The production of butyl acetate at East India Chemicals involves an esterification reaction where acetic acid reacts with butanol in the presence of a sulfuric acid catalyst. This process, known for its efficiency and scalability, ensures a consistent supply of high-quality butyl acetate. Our state-of-the-art facilities are designed to optimize production while adhering to the strictest environmental and safety standards.
