Isopropyl Acetate (Cat No.: R044780) is a clear, flammable liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, chemically classified as an ester (C₅H₁₀O₂). It is commonly used as a solvent in coatings, inks, fragrances, and adhesives due to its fast evaporation rate and good solubility for many resins and polymers. It is also used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and flavor compounds. Volatile and slightly soluble in water, it should be handled with care in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation and fire hazards.
