Urethane Grade
Normal Butyl Acetate is a clear, colorless liquid ester with a characteristic pleasant "fruity" odor (resembling bananas). It is the most important medium-boiling solvent in the paint industry. Ruvon supplies Urethane Grade NBA, which has ultra-low moisture content, making it safe for use in Polyurethane (PU) hardeners and coatings.
Butyl Acetate is formed by the esterification of Butanol and Acetic Acid. It is highly valued for its excellent solvency for Nitrocellulose, Polymers, Resins, and Oils. It creates a smooth finish in lacquers, preventing blushing (whitening due to moisture).
