1. We produce ethyl acetate of industrial quality with a purity of at least 99.5%. Such high purity is important because it enables rapid dissolution of nitrocellulose, acrylic, and alkyd resins, and also lessens the effect of impurities.
2. The level of moisture in our ethyl acetate solvent is limited to ≤0.10%, therefore, this characteristic helps to prevent whitening of coatings.
3. Our ethyl acetate 99.5% has an acid content of no more than 0.01%, which is sufficient to protect against the corrosive nature of acidic impurities and keep both resin and pigment systems in good condition without affecting the properties of the final product.
Pure ethyl acetate API extraction with the right moisture level and acid content is a major factor in paint, ink, and adhesive quality. Excessive solvent moisture, high acid values, or inconsistent evaporation rate problems can easily result in whitening, orange peeling, pinholes, and poor leveling, which is very bad for the look of the painted product - and it may even lead to complaints from customers, rework requirements, and waste of raw material.
Our supplied ethyl acetate pharma grade conforms to GB/T 3729-2021 standards, with a purity ≥99.5%, moisture ≤0.10%, and acid value ≤0.01%. We strictly control color and non-volatile content to ensure stable solubility and evaporation rates. Producing a steady quality of coating results in more even coat, fewer defects at the time of application, and therefore, not just higher first-pass rate of production but also decreased production costs due to the customers being affected by the ups and downs of raw materials supply.

Customer Case
A Southeast Asian industrial coatings manufacturer primarily produces metal anti-corrosion coatings and wood coatings. Previously, their purchased n-butyl acetate experienced significant fluctuations in moisture and acid value, leading to problems such as whitening and decreased leveling properties in some products during rainy season applications. This not only affected product appearance but also increased rework costs and customer complaints. After understanding the customer's process, we provided them with n-butyl acetate products with a purity ≥99.5%, moisture ≤0.10%, and acid value ≤0.01%, and optimized the supply plan according to the customer's application environment. After three months of continuous production, customer feedback indicated a reduction of approximately 40% in coating whitening rate, an increase of approximately 12% in first-pass yield, more stable leveling properties during application, and an overall production efficiency improvement of approximately 15%. This also reduced the time required for formula adjustments due to raw material fluctuations.

Upstream Laboratory and Technical Support
Butyl acetate is widely used in automotive coatings, industrial coatings, wood coatings, inks, adhesives, electronic cleaning, and resin production industries. Its purity, moisture content, acid value, and evaporation residue directly affect the product's leveling properties, adhesion, and application performance. To ensure stable product quality, we have established a comprehensive quality testing and technical support system based on upstream cooperative production bases and a CNAS-accredited laboratory. The laboratory is equipped with over 30 high-end analytical instruments, including a gas chromatograph (GC), a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), a Karl Fischer moisture analyzer, a colorimeter, and an automated acid value titrator. This allows for precise testing of the purity, moisture content, acid value, color, evaporation residue, and trace organic impurities of n-butyl acetate, ensuring product compliance with GB/T 3729-2021 "Industrial Grade n-butyl acetate" standard and providing reliable assurance for customers' continuous and stable production.
Safe Transportation
N-butyl acetate is classified as a Class 3 flammable liquid (UN1123, Packing Category II), requiring strict adherence to hazardous chemical transport regulations during transportation. We follow the regulation on the handling of hazardous materials and use standard packaging containers. The materials are delivered by qualified logistics partners, guaranteeing a safe and legal transportation. Customers often have different requirements for procurement and transportation; therefore, we provide several packing alternatives - 180kg galvanized steel drums, IBC containers and ISO Tank for bulk transport. All our packaging is solvent resistant and leakage proof, hence, evaporation from and leakage of the product contents is very minimal, if not completely eliminated, in transit.
