n-Propyl Acetate

n-Propyl Acetate                                                                                
Chemical Formula : C5H10O2               CAS Registry Number : 109-60-4
 
  n-Propyl acetate is a clear, volatile, mobile liquid with a characterictic odor reminiscent of acetone.  It is miscible with many common solvents, e.g. alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols and glycol ethers, but it is only sparingly soluble in water.

Applications

N_Propyl  acetate is primaly intended as a solvent in the coatings and printing inks industries.  Its properties are important for the manufacture and processing of numerous peoducts in these branches of industry, e.g.  Its good solvent power for many resin, its high volatility, and its mild odor.Another factor of great significance in these branches of industry is that the solvent power and thinnability of n-propyl acetate are comparable to those of ethyl acetate.  For instance, it dissolves many natural and synthetic resins (e.g. cellulose nitrate, scrylate, alkyd resins, rosin, plasticizers, waxes, oils and fats) and is thus an eminently suitable solvent for wood lacquers and industrial finished.The main applications for n-propyl acetate in the printing inks

industry are flexographic and special screen printing inks.
