Ethyl Acetate in Bulk

Ethyl acetate is the workhorse mid-evaporating solvent of the coatings and packaging industries. It dissolves a wide range of resins, evaporates at a rate that gives good flow without blocking, and has a far more favourable toxicity profile than many alternatives. BulkFineChem supplies industrial and pharmaceutical grades to ink makers, adhesive manufacturers, flexible packaging converters and pharmaceutical units across India.

Applications

State your grade requirement when enquiring, as pharmaceutical applications call for tighter residue and moisture limits.

• Solvent for printing inks and flexible packaging lamination
• Coatings, lacquers and nitrocellulose systems
• Adhesive and sealant formulation
• Extraction and crystallisation in pharmaceutical manufacture
• Decaffeination and flavour extraction in food processing

Safety, Handling and Compliance

Ethyl acetate is highly flammable and is a scheduled solvent under narcotics precursor controls in India, so documentation is required.

• Flash point around minus 4 degrees C; keep away from all ignition sources
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated, earthed flammables store
• End-use declaration required under precursor control rules
• Use bonding and grounding when transferring
• SDS issued on request

Ordering

• Minimum order quantity 200 litres
• GST tax invoice on every order
• Batch-wise Certificate of Analysis with each dispatch
• TDS and SDS available on request
• Transport by approved flammable goods carrier with TREM card

FAQs

Questions buyers commonly ask about ethyl acetate.

• Industrial or pharma grade? Pharma grade meets IP or BP limits on residue and moisture; industrial is fine for coatings.
• Why does my film retain solvent? Usually too fast a line speed or inadequate drying, not solvent quality.
• Is an end-use declaration needed? Yes, it is a controlled precursor and documentation is required.
• Can I get a sample? Yes, trial quantities can be arranged.
• What documents are provided? GST invoice, batch CoA, SDS and TREM card.
