N-propyl Acetate

N-Propyl Acetate CAS 109-60-4

Fast-Evaporating Solvent for Coatings, Inks & Industrial Use

Product Overview

N-Propyl Acetate (NPA), also known as Propyl Ethanoate, is a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant fruity odor. It is widely used as a fast-evaporating solvent in coatings, printing inks, and chemical processing.

Thanks to its excellent solvency, low toxicity profile (compared to some alternatives), and controlled evaporation rate, N-propyl acetate is an ideal choice for applications requiring quick drying and smooth surface finishes.
