Carboxylic Ester Solvents

Carboxylic Ester Solvents — covers carboxylic ester solvents ranging from short-chain acetates to glycol ether acetates, which are commonly used for their good solubility toward resins and adjustable evaporation rates. This class is an important component in paint, ink, and extraction process solvent formulations.

Ester solvents such as butyl acetate and propyl acetate are used in the paint and coating industry as thinners that regulate film drying rate, while glycol ether acetates are used in ink formulations and precision cleaners because of their ability to dissolve both polar and nonpolar resins. Some variants with special specifications, such as for spectrophotometry, are used by analytical laboratories as sample solvents free of UV-interfering impurities.

Product examples in this collection: TCI A0036 108-21-4 Isopropyl Acetate, TCI D0499 124-17-4 Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether Acetate, TCI A0228 123-86-4 Butyl Acetate [for Spectrophotometry], TCI D0500 112-15-2 Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Acetate, TCI A0044 109-60-4 Propyl Acetate, TCI E0049 111-15-9 2-Ethoxyethyl Acetate, TCI A0034 110-19-0 Isobutyl Acetate, TCI E0319 763-69-9 Ethyl 3-Ethoxypropionate.

Pay attention to purity level and application grade (for example spectrophotometry grade or industrial grade), as well as boiling point and evaporation rate suited to the needs of a particular formulation process. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
