Key Properties
Isopropyl acetate (extra pure, 2-propyl acetate) is a fast-evaporating ester solvent widely used in coatings and printing inks. It is characterized by its low viscosity and high solvency power, making it an ideal choice for various applications in the chemical industry. This compound is notable for its fruity odor and is often preferred for its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances while evaporating quickly, which is essential in processes where rapid drying is required. Isopropyl acetate is also recognized for its relatively low toxicity compared to other solvents, enhancing its appeal in formulations where safety is a concern.
Also known as 2-Propanol acetate, Isopropyl ethanoate.

- Substance
Isopropyl acetate is a colorless liquid with a density of 0.872 g/mL at 20°C. It has a boiling point of approximately 89.5°C and a melting point of -89.5°C, indicating its liquid state at room temperature. The compound has a fruity odor, which is characteristic of esters, and a flash point of 24°C, classifying it as a flammable liquid. It is soluble in water at a concentration of about 0.5 g/100 mL at 20°C, and it has a vapor pressure of 30 mmHg at 20°C, which contributes to its fast-evaporating nature.
