Product Description

Isobutyl Acetate is an organic ester with CAS Number 110-19-0.  It appears as a clear, colorless liquid that is slightly soluble in water but highly miscible with most organic solvents.

As a medium-boiling solvent, IBA provides excellent solvency for nitrocellulose, resins, polymers, and oils while offering low surface tension and good evaporation properties.

Isobutyl Acetate (IBA) serves as an effective solvent, flavor ingredient, and fragrance component across food, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications.
