Butyl acetate is a colorless, flammable liquid with a fruity odor that is commonly used as a solvent for a variety of purposes.

1. Butyl acetate CAS 123-86-4 is widely used as a solvent in paint, varnish and coating formulations because of its ability to dissolve a variety of resins and polymers.

2. Butyl acetate used in the production of adhesives, especially in industries that require strong adhesion.

3. Butyl acetate CAS 123-86-4 is used as a solvent in printing ink formulations to help achieve the desired viscosity and drying properties.

4. Butyl acetate used as intermediates in the synthesis of other chemicals, including butyl acrylate and other esters.

5. Due to Butyl acetate CAS 123-86-4 fruity smell, ethyl butyrate is sometimes used as a flavoring or fragrance ingredient in the food and fragrance industries.

6. Butyl acetate can be used in the extraction process, especially to separate certain compounds in a laboratory setting.

7. Ethyl butyrate CAS 123-86-4 sometimes appears in nail polish remover and other cosmetic formulas.

When storing butyl acetate, it is important to follow safety guidelines to ensure proper handling and minimize risks.

1. Store butyl acetate CAS 123-86-4 in airtight containers made of compatible materials, such as glass or certain plastics. Make sure the container is clearly labeled.

2. Please store butyl acetate in a cool and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames. If there is a designated storage area for flammable liquids, please store it in the designated area.

3. Maintain storage temperature within the recommended range, typically 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Avoid extreme temperatures that may cause pressure to build up in the container.

4. Butyl acetate CAS 123-86-4 should be kept away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidants, acids and alkalis. Make sure to store it separately from food and beverages.

5. Butyl acetate use secondary controls, such as spill trays, to control any potential spills or leaks.

6. Limit access to storage areas to trained personnel only, and ensure that appropriate safety CAS 123-86-4 equipment (such as fire extinguishers and spill kits) is readily available.

7. Regularly inspect storage areas and containers for signs of leaks, damage or deterioration.
