Applications:
n-Butyl acetate is used as solvent in coating, paint, varnish, printing ink, adhesive, leatheroid, nitrocellulose, etc. It is also applied to prepare perfume. In pharmaceutical industry, it is used as extractant.
n-Butyl acetate is an azeotrope former with good ability to carry water. It is often used to condense some weak solution to reduce energy consumption.

Package and delivery:
n-Butyl acetate is normally delivered in bulk with tanker. At customer's request, it can also be packed in steel drums.
