Application: According to GB 2760-1996, the use of edible spices is permitted. Ethyl acetate is one of the most widely used fatty acid esters. It is a fast drying solvent with excellent solubility. It is an excellent industrial solvent and can also be used as eluent for column chromatography. It can be used for nitric acid fiber, ethyl fiber, chlorinated rubber and ethylene resin, cellulose acetate ester, cellulose butyl acetate and synthetic rubber, and can also be used for liquid nitro fiber inks for photocopiers. It can be used as solvent of adhesive and thinner of spray paint. Ethyl acetate is an efficient solvent for many kinds of resins and is widely used in printing ink and artificial leather production.
