Sec Butyl Acetate for Paint and Coating Formulations

 

A solvent purchase influences the mixing, application, and drying behaviour of a coating. Sec-butyl acetate needs an exact product identity and an approved specification before it enters your production process.

Identify the correct acetate solvent

Sec-butyl acetate belongs to the acetate solvent family and has CAS number 105-46-4. Manufacturer product information describes applications as a paint solvent, diluent, and resin solvent. The specific formulation determines its suitability.

Sec-butyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, and isobutyl acetate represent different chemical identities. Check the full product name and CAS number across the quotation, packaging, and technical documents before approving an order.

Test performance in the coating

Your formulation team should evaluate resin compatibility, evaporation behaviour, and finished film performance. Use the same formulation, equipment, and application conditions when comparing samples.

Record appearance, drying results, and any application defects against your normal acceptance criteria. An approved sample supports a purchasing decision when it represents the same manufacturer and grade offered for delivery. A source change deserves a fresh review through your established process.

Set quality and delivery requirements

Request the manufacturer specification and batch certificate of analysis. Agree the relevant limits for purity, water content, acidity, colour, and other process requirements. Avoid copying the specification of a different acetate solvent into the enquiry.

Confirm the net quantity, packaging, delivery basis, and intended arrival date. Ask whether the quotation covers original sealed drums or a repacked supply. Your receiving team should match the delivered lot with the COA and inspect the packaging before release.

Review the exact product SDS with your site team before arranging storage or handling. The warehouse needs the product information before the consignment arrives.

Request a sec-butyl acetate quotation from Grace Chemicals with your approved specification, packaging preference, and required quantity.
