What is the moisture sensitivity of ethyl acetate?

Ethyl acetate is prone to slow hydrolysis in the presence of water, generating acetic acid. The specification for acidity (≤0.005% as acetic acid) and water content (≤0.1%) ensures stability in storage and prevents corrosion or resin precipitation in formulations.

FAQ

Ethyl acetate's fast evaporation rate, low color, and good solvency for nitrocellulose, polyurethane, and acrylic resins make it ideal for high-speed printing inks. Its relatively low boiling point (77°C) ensures rapid drying on press without heat marks.
