Characteristics
Strong dissolving ability: It has good solubility for various resins such as acrylic resin, alkyd resin, epoxy resin, chlorinated rubber, etc. It can make these resins evenly dispersed in the coating system to form a stable solution, ensuring that the coating has good fluidity, storage stability and film-forming properties.

Suitable volatilization rate: It has a moderate volatilization rate. During the coating construction process, it will not evaporate too quickly to cause poor leveling of the coating, nor will it evaporate too slowly to affect the drying speed and production efficiency. This allows it to allow the solvent to evaporate gradually after the coating is applied, so that the resin and other film-forming materials form a continuous, flat and smooth paint film.

Low toxicity and less odor: Compared with some traditional organic solvents, n-butyl acetate has lower toxicity and less harm to the health of operators. At the same time, its odor is relatively mild, and it will not produce too pungent and unpleasant odors during use, which improves the working environment to a certain extent.

Good chemical stability: The chemical properties are stable at room temperature, and it is not easy to react chemically with other components in the coating. It can maintain the stability of the coating system and extend the storage period of the coating. The coating will not deteriorate or deteriorate due to the reaction of the solvent with other substances.

Application in coatings

Solvent-based coatings: It is an indispensable and important solvent in solvent-based coatings and can be used as a main solvent or part of a mixed solvent.

It is widely used in various types of solvent-based coatings, such as industrial coatings, automotive coatings, wood coatings, etc. It can adjust the viscosity of the coating to meet different construction process requirements, such as spraying, brushing, roller coating, etc.

Automotive coatings: In the production of automotive coatings, n-butyl acetate can improve the gloss, fullness and adhesion of the coating, so that a high-quality paint film is formed on the surface of the car body, with good appearance and protective performance, improving the beauty and durability of the car, and resisting the erosion of the external environment on the car body.

Wood coating: For wood coating, it can help the coating penetrate into the wood surface better and form a uniform coating, which can not only protect the wood from moisture, ultraviolet rays, microorganisms, etc., but also give the wood a good decorative effect and enhance the color and texture of the wood.

Coil coating: In the production and construction of coil coating, n-butyl acetate can meet the requirements of high-speed coating and fast drying, so that the coating can dry quickly on the coil and form a continuous and dense coating, improve production efficiency and product quality, and ensure the protective and decorative properties of the coil.

Precautions

Flammability: n-butyl acetate is a flammable liquid, and its vapor can form an explosive mixture with air, which can cause combustion and explosion when exposed to open flames and high heat. Therefore, during storage and use, it must be kept away from fire and heat sources, and the storage place should be well ventilated, equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and facilities, and strictly abide by fire safety regulations.

Volatility and toxicity protection: It has a certain volatility, and long-term inhalation of its vapor may cause harm to the human body, such as irritation of the respiratory tract, headache, dizziness and other symptoms. Wear appropriate protective equipment during operation, such as gas masks, protective gloves and protective glasses, ensure that the working environment is well ventilated, and avoid long-term contact in confined spaces.

Compatibility with other substances: During the design and use of coating formulations, pay attention to the compatibility of n-butyl acetate with other solvents, additives, resins, etc. Some substances may react with it and affect the performance of the coating, such as causing stratification, precipitation, discoloration and other problems. Before use, it is best to conduct compatibility testing to ensure the stability and performance of the coating system.

Environmental requirements: Although its toxicity is relatively low, it still needs to be handled and discharged in accordance with environmental regulations. Avoid dumping waste containing n-butyl acetate at will, and adopt appropriate recycling and treatment methods to reduce pollution to the environment. During production and use, try to use environmentally friendly processes and equipment to reduce the impact on the environment.
