Isopropyl Acetate

Purity Levels: Isopropyl acetate is typically available in high purity grades, often 99% or higher, which is essential for applications requiring high-quality solvents.

Packaging: Commonly packaged in 200-liter drums or smaller containers, depending on the supplier and customer requirements.

High Purity: Ensures consistent performance and reliability across applications.

Effective Solvent: Excellent solvency for a variety of organic compounds.

Fast Evaporation: Quick drying properties make it ideal for applications requiring rapid solvent removal.

Low Toxicity: Provides a safer alternative to more hazardous solvents.

Paints and Coatings: Used as a solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, and varnishes, offering smooth application and quick drying.

Printing Inks: Utilized in printing inks for its effective solvency and fast evaporation, enhancing print quality and efficiency.

Adhesives: Integral in adhesive formulations, contributing to strong bonding and quick setting times.

Pharmaceuticals: Employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes for its effective solvency and low toxicity.

Cosmetics: Used in various cosmetic formulations, providing excellent solvency for active ingredients and fragrances.

Flammability: Isopropyl acetate is flammable in both liquid and vapor forms. Proper storage and handling procedures must be followed to minimize risks.

Toxicity: It may be harmful if swallowed or inhaled, and exposure limits are set by regulatory bodies (e.g., OSHA recommends a permissible exposure limit of 250 ppm).

Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Each product should come with an SDS that outlines hazards, handling procedures, and emergency measures.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Users should wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, to minimize exposure during handling.
