What is Butyl acetate

Butyl acetate most often refers to n-butyl acetate. n-Butyl acetate, also known as butyl ethanoate, is an ester that is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature. It is found in many types of fruit, where along with other chemicals, it imparts characteristic flavors and has a sweet smell of banana or apple. Butyl acetate is often used as a high-boiling solvent of moderate polarity.

Formula: C6H12O2 or CH3COO(CH2)3CH3

CAS Number : 123-86-4

Synonyms: N-BUTYL ACETATE, Acetic acid, Butyl ester, Butyl ethanoate

Butyl acetate industrial production and uses

The most common method for creating normal butyl acetate is via the esterification of a butanol isomer and acetic acid which are heated in the presence of a strong acid. Storage is normally in a cool, dry and well ventilated facility away from oxidising agents. Normal butyl acetate should be kept out of direct sunlight, heat and open flames. Solvents such as normal butyl acetate should be stored in drummed containers such as isotanks made of stainless steel, aluminium or carbon steel. Butyl acetate is used as a synthetic fruit flavoring in foods such as candy, ice cream, cheeses, and baked goods. Butyl acetate also commonly used as a solvent in the production of lacquers, inks and adhesives.
