Butyl acetate (butyl ethanoate) is an ester with the chemical formula C6H12O2. This substance is a clear and colorless liquid in the living room. This substance naturally smells like bananas or apples under the pressure of existing fruits.
Applications:
n-Butyl acetate is an important solvent in the paints industry on account of and for oils and fats. Its moderate volatility and its resistance to blushing and levelling problems such as orange peel effects make it possible for paints with excellent levelling and gloss to be formulated. n-Butyl acetate is often employed in combination with n-butanol in paints, because n-butanol enances the resistance to blushing and increases the solvency in many cases.n-Butanol cannot be used in paint systems that have to be free of hydroxyl groups, such as isocyanate paints
