It has excellent solubility for various synthetic resins and is an effective solvent for many synthetic resins such asethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, styrene, methacrylate resin, etc.
It is commonly used for organic synthesis, as a solvent for paint, printing ink, etc.
It is also used as a common industrial dehydrating agent.
1. Coatings & Ink Industry
PAC (cas no 109 60 4) provides excellent solvency for resins, improving film flow, leveling, and gloss in automotive coatings, industrial paints, and printing inks. Its moderate evaporation rate helps reduce defects such as orange peel and blistering.
2. Adhesives & Sealants
With strong solubility for common polymers, PAC enhances formulation stability and bonding performance in woodworking adhesives, shoe adhesives, and packaging glue. Its low water content (≤0.10%) ensures consistent quality.
3. Pharmaceuticals, Flavors & Fragrances
PAC is used as an extraction solvent and cleaning agent in pharmaceutical processing. Its naturally fruity odor also makes it suitable for flavoring and fragrance formulations, where low residue levels (evaporation residue ≤0.005%) are required.
4. Electronics Cleaning & Precision Manufacturing
n propyl acetate effectively removes oils and contaminants from PCBs, precision components, and semiconductor equipment. It evaporates cleanly without corrosive residues, making it suitable for electronics assembly and fine chemical processing.

Q1. Is Propyl Acetate flammable?
Yes. It is classified as a Class 3 flammable liquid and must be kept away from fire sources and strong oxidizing agents. As a propyl acetate supplier, we hold a national Class 1 hazardous chemicals license and provide professional GB-standard transportation to ensure safe door-to-door delivery.
Q2. Is propyl acetate soluble in water?
PAC exhibits low water solubility (approximately 2%), yet is completely miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. This enhances its efficacy in industrial cleaning applications. High-purity specifications with water content ≤0.10% prevent moisture interference in your formulations.
Q3. What is the difference between Ethyl Acetate and Propyl Acetate?
Ethyl Acetate: Faster evaporation, lower boiling point
Propyl Acetate: Medium evaporation, better solvency and leveling
Selection depends on required drying speed and coating performance.
Q4. Do you provide export documents such as COA & MSDS?
Yes. All chemical exports come with COA, MSDS, TDS, hazard labels, and customs documents.
