| | Product Description | | Eastman Methyl Acetate is a fast evaporating, mild odor, active solvent for a broad range of coating and ink resins. Because of its fast evaporation rate, methyl acetate should be useful as the fast-evaporating component in high-low solvent systems and in other applications where fast solvent release and quick dry-to-touch time are needed. Methyl acetate is an active solvent for the following resins: cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride acetate, melamine, isocyanate, acrylic, epoxy, polyamide, vinyl butyral, phenolic, alkyd, thermoset acrylic, and urea. Compared with other fast evaporating solvents, methyl acetate gives solution viscosity somewhat higher than acetone or MEK but lower than ethyl acetate or methylene chloride. Where a mild odor, fast evaporating solvent is required, methyl acetate may be the most desirable product to use. The INCI (cosmetic ingredient) name for Eastman Methyl Acetate is Methyl Acetate.
* Eastman Methyl Acetate is exempt from regulation as a VOC and HAP under Federal Law, but can contain <= 2.5% methanol, which is a VOC and a HAP. | |
