Sasol Ethyl Acetate Applications: Coatings, Inks, Adhesives

Applications

One Solvent, Six Industries

Ethyl acetate carries resin, moves ink and clears adhesive lines because it evaporates fast and dissolves a wide range of polymers. The grade, not the solvent, decides how well it behaves.

Every block below names the grades that do the job, so a trial can start from the right drum.

By Industry

Six Application Lines

Coatings, inks, adhesives, polyurethane, pharma and food. Each line stresses a different limit, and each block links the grades built for it.

Coatings and Thinners

Fast evaporation and broad resin solvency for epoxy, urethane, acrylic, cellulosic and vinyl systems.

99.8% 99.5%

Printing Inks

Viscosity control and clean drying on flexo, gravure and screen presses, without lifting the colour.

99.8% 99.5%

Adhesives and Laminating

A consistent residue profile keeps bond strength stable in solvent-borne adhesive and laminating work.

99.8% Urethane

Polyurethane Systems

Water and ethanol control that protects the isocyanate balance and keeps pot life predictable.

Urethane 99.9%

Pharma and Extraction

Pharmacopoeial grades with lot traceability for synthesis, crystallisation and natural product extraction.

NF/USP EP

Food, Flavour and Personal Care

Sealed packing and low-odour impurity control for flavour extraction and nail care formulas.

Four Limits That Decide

When a trial fails, these are the four numbers to check before changing anything else.

Purity Tier

99.5% Grade≥99.5 wt%
99.8% Grademin 99.8 wt%
99.9% Grade≥99.9 wt%

Water Content

99.5% Grade≤0.10 wt%
99.8% Grademax 0.03 wt%
99.9% Grade≤0.02 wt%

Ethanol Content

99.5% Grade≤0.10 wt%
99.8% Grademax 0.02 wt%
Urethane Grade≤0.02 wt%

Residue on Evaporation

99.5% Grade≤5 mg/100 ml
99.8% Grademax 2 mg/100 ml
99.9% Grade≤1 mg/100 ml

The 99.8% values come from the published Sasol product specification; the other grades show typical values and the certificate of the shipped lot governs.
