Isooctyl acetate (CAS 103-09-3) and 2-Ethylhexyl acetate (CAS 31565-19-2) are isomeric solvents derived from esterification of acetic acid with iso-octanol. Molecular formula: C10H20O2. These high-boiling esters serve as effective low-toxicity alternatives to traditional aromatics in industrial formulations.
Flammable liquid; store away from oxidizers in cool, ventilated areas. Use explosion-proof equipment. Avoid inhalation of vapors; wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection during handling. Not intended for pharmaceutical or food-grade applications.
