Name: Bio Ethyl Acetate
Rating: 5 (30 reviews)

Bio ethyl acetate is a bio-based alternative to traditional petrochemical solvents, now available in Nedstar’s expanding range of sustainable products. Also known as ethyl ethanoate, ethyl acetate, or simply EtAc, this versatile organic compound is prized for its effectiveness and distinctive fruity scent used across industries including flavouring, paints, and pharmaceuticals.

With growing global demand for cleaner, greener solutions, our bio based ethyl acetate offers an environmentally friendly option without compromising on performance or purity.

What is bio ethyl acetate?

Bio ethyl acetate is a colourless, low-viscosity organic compound with the chemical formula C₄H₈O₂. Part of the ester family, it has a boiling point of 77.1°C and is known for its pleasant, fruity scent. Its molecular structure, CH₃COOCH₂CH₃, gives it excellent solvency and fast evaporation, making it an ideal choice for industrial applications that require efficiency and purity.

The compound occurs naturally in some fruits but is mostly produced synthetically. Unlike conventional ethyl acetate, which is petroleum-derived, bio based ethyl acetate is made from renewable agricultural materials. It is registered under ethyl acetate CAS number 141-78-6 and is widely accepted in environmentally conscious markets.

How is bio ethyl acetate made?

Traditional ethyl acetate producers use fossil-derived ethanol and acetic acid. In contrast, Nedstar’s bio ethyl acetate is produced through a catalytic esterification process that starts with bioethanol, ethanol derived from renewable, non-GMO raw materials like sugarcane or corn. When bioethanol reacts with acetic acid, the result is a high-purity, environmentally friendly ethyl acetate product.
