N-Propyl Acetate, N-Propyl Ethanoate, Acetic Acid or Propyl Ester
N-PROPYL ACETATE is an ester with an average evaporation rate and high degree of solubility in the major resins on the market, such as nitrocellulose, and synthetic and natural.
It is miscible with hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, alcohols and ethers, and it has low water solubility. It is used in formulations for paints and thinners for different applications, including printing inks (rotogravure and flexography), industrial coatings , original automotive paints and car refinishing . In printing inks, it also stands out for its low retention in flexible polyethylene and polypropylene films. The manufacturing process of n-PROPYL ACETATE sold by Solvay is rigidly controlled concerning the presence of aromatics.
