What is Ethyl Acetate?
Ethyl Acetate — also known as Ethyl Ethanoate or Acetic Ether — is an organic ester compound with the molecular formula C₄H₈O₂ and CAS number 141-78-6. It is formed from the esterification of acetic acid and ethanol, and is one of the most widely used solvents in the world, recognised for its pleasant, fruity odour and fast evaporation rate.
In its industrial form, Ethyl Acetate is a clear, colourless, volatile liquid that is moderately soluble in water and fully miscible with most organic solvents. Its balanced polarity, low toxicity relative to many alternative solvents, and rapid drying characteristics make it a preferred choice for coatings, inks, adhesives, and extraction processes.
Hazchem supplies Ethyl Acetate 99% (Technical/Industrial grade), well suited to paints, inks, adhesives, and general industrial solvent use.

Ethyl Acetate vs. Acetone
Both Ethyl Acetate and Acetone are widely used fast-evaporating solvents in the UAE. Understanding the differences helps you select the right chemical for your application:
| Feature | Ethyl Acetate (C₄H₈O₂) | Acetone (C₃H₆O) |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Class | Ester | Ketone |
| Odour | Sweet, fruity | Sharp, pungent |
| Evaporation Rate | Fast, slightly slower than acetone | Very fast |
| Common Grades | 99% (Technical) | 99.5%, Technical grade |
| Primary Use | Paints, inks, adhesives, pharma extraction | Degreasing, nail polish remover, resin dissolution |
Ethyl Acetate Uses & Applications
Ethyl Acetate is a versatile ester solvent, used as a carrier, extractant and chemical intermediate across many sectors in the UAE and GCC. Its main applications include:

Chemical Properties of Ethyl Acetate
Ethyl Acetate (C₄H₈O₂) is the ester formed from acetic acid and ethanol. It is partially soluble in water and fully miscible with most organic solvents, giving it a favourable balance of polarity that makes it effective at dissolving resins, oils, and cellulose derivatives used in coatings and inks.
Its fast evaporation rate — faster than water, slower than acetone — makes Ethyl Acetate especially useful in applications requiring quick drying without excessive solvent retention, such as printing inks and nail polish formulations.
Ethyl Acetate is a highly flammable liquid (Flash Point ~-4°C) and must be stored and handled accordingly — away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. In the UAE's warm climate, maintaining appropriate storage conditions is especially important to prevent pressure build-up and vapour ignition risk.
Advantages of Ethyl Acetate as an Industrial Solvent
- Fast evaporation rate — ideal for quick-drying coatings, inks, and adhesives
- Pleasant, mild odour compared to many alternative solvents
- Good solvency for resins, oils, cellulose nitrate, and polymers
- Lower toxicity profile relative to several alternative industrial solvents
- Accepted in pharmaceutical extraction and food-grade decaffeination (where grade-appropriate)
- Available at 99% purity to precisely match application requirements
Storage and Safe Handling of Ethyl Acetate
Storage Requirements
Ethyl Acetate is a Class 3 Flammable Liquid (UN 1173) and must be stored in approved, tightly sealed containers — preferably stainless steel, HDPE, or approved plastic — in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat sources, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidising agents. In the UAE's hot climate, ambient temperatures can significantly increase vapour pressure; ensure storage areas are shaded and temperature-controlled where possible.
Safe Handling
Always wear appropriate PPE when handling Ethyl Acetate: chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and where vapours may accumulate, use respiratory protection. Ensure adequate ventilation in all handling areas. Avoid ignition sources — Ethyl Acetate vapour is heavier than air and can travel to distant ignition points. Follow all local UAE civil defence and COSHH requirements for flammable solvent handling.
