Ethyl Acetate

This product is a moderately polar, clear, colorless liquid solvent with a light fruity odor. Ethyl Acetate, also known as ethyl ethanoate, is a widely used solvent in organic synthesis that is highly miscible with all common organic solvents. It is cost efficient, highly effective and is easily broken in both air and water simultaneously. Ethyl Acetate has the advantages of being relatively non-toxic and non-hygroscopic. Ethyl Acetate can be mixed with non-polar solvents and is also used for extractions.
