Assay, (GC): 99.5% Specific Gravity @ 25C: 0.894-0.898 Acidity: Requires not more than 0.10mL of 0.10 N NaOH for neutralization. Residue After Evaporation: 0.003% Max Chromatographic Purity: the are of the Ethyl Acetate peak is not less than 99.5% of the sum of the areas of all the peaks. Water: 0.2% Max

The 99.5% contaminant-free purity of ACS grade Ethyl Acetate is mainly used as a solvent. In the laboratory, mixtures containing ethyl acetate are commonly used in column and thin-layer chromatography and extractions. It is fairly volatile at room temperature and has a boiling point of 77 °C (171 °F). Due to this, it can be removed from a sample by heating in a hot water bath.Ethyl Acetate has a characteristic sweet smell and is used in glues, nail polish removers, decaffeinating tea and coffee. Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid.Specifications...
