Butyl Acetate CAS 123-86-4

Chemical Properties Of Butyl Acetate CAS 123-86-4

  • Butyl acetate is a colorless or yellowish liquid with a strong fruity odor. burning and then sweet taste reminiscent of pineapple. It occurs in many fruits and is a constituent of apple aromas. Butyl acetate is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
  • There are 4 isomers. At 20 °C, the density of the n-butyl isomer is 0.8825 g/ cm3, and the density of the sec-isomer is 0.8758 g/cm3 (Bisesi, 1994). The n-butyl isomer is soluble in most hydrocarbons and acetone, and it is miscible with ethanol, ethyl ether, and chloroform (Haynes, 2010). It dissolves many plastics and resins (NIOSH, 1981).

Product Application Of Butyl Acetate CAS 123-86-4

  • Butyl Acetate is a flavoring agent which is a clear, colorless liquid possessing a fruity and strong odor. it is sparingly soluble in water and miscible in alcohol, ether, and propylene glycol. it is also termed n-butyl acetate.
  • Butyl acetate is one of the more important derivatives of n-butyl alcohol produced commercially, is employed as a solvent in rapid drying paints and coatings. In some instances, butyl acetate, C6H12O2, has replaced ethoxyethyl acetate due to the latter’s reported toxicity and teratogenicity.
