Tert-butyl acetate（Cat No.:R041936）is a colorless, flammable liquid ester with a fruity odor, commonly used as a solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and industrial cleaners. It is derived from the reaction of tert-butanol and acetic acid and is known for its fast evaporation rate, low reactivity, and relatively low toxicity. Tert-butyl acetate is favored in formulations requiring low VOC (volatile organic compound) content and is often used as a substitute for more hazardous solvents. Its stability and compatibility with various resins make it valuable in automotive and architectural coating applications.
