prompt evacuation of personnel from the leakage contaminated area to the safety zone, and Isolation, strict restrictions on access. Cut off the fire source. Emergency personnel are advised to wear self-contained positive pressure respirator and fire protective clothing. The leakage source shall be cut off as far as possible to prevent entry into restricted spaces such as drains and flood drains. Small leakage: adsorption or absorption by sand or other incombustible materials. Can also be washed with a large amount of water, washing water diluted into the wastewater system. Large amount of leakage: Construction of embankment or excavation for accommodation; Cover with foam to reduce steam disaster. The explosion-proof pump is transferred to the tank car or a special collector for recycling or transportation to the waste treatment site for disposal.

Product description | Isobutyl acetate, also known as Isobutyl acetate, is the esterification product of acetic acid and 2-butanol, water-white liquid with soft fruit Ester flavor, slightly soluble in water, miscible in ethanol, ether, miscible with alcohol, ether, hydrocarbon and other organic solvents, mainly used as a diluent for Nitro paint and vinyl chloride paint, nitrocellulose and paint solvents, but also as a substitute solvent for butyl acetate and methyl isobutyl ketone, also used as a fragrance component, plastic printing paste diluent, extractants for the pharmaceutical industry, etc. SEC-butyl acetate has good solubility to many substances, and the solubility is similar to that of n-butyl acetate and isobutyl acetate. It can be used as a solvent in the manufacture of nitrocellulose paint, acrylic paint, polyurethane paint, etc, artificial leather coatings, automotive coatings, etc. N-butyl acetate and isobutyl acetate can be widely substituted in coating formulations. SEC-butyl acetate can be used to dissolve cellulose acetate butyrate in metallic flash paints to give 15% to 20% solutions. |
Industrial application | isobutyl acetate has strong solubility, which is mainly used as a diluent for Nitro paint, perchloroethylene paint and plastic printing paste, it may also be used as a solvent. Because of its fruit aroma and flower aroma, it is also often used as a fruit flavor, which is used as a change in rose flavor. Isobutyl acetate and n-butyl acetate and methyl isobutyl ketone solvent properties are similar, and therefore in many cases can also be used instead of their use. It also forms the lowest azeotrope with water and can be used as an azeotroping agent in azeotropic distillation processes. In the azeotropic distillation process of industrial production of terephthalic acid, isobutyl acetate was added as an azeotropic agent, and the reaction by-product water was continuously removed to promote the reaction and improve the yield and quality of terephthalic acid. |

Main Entry: Ester
isobutyl acetate (isobutyl acetate), also known as "isobutyl acetate", is the esterification product of acetic acid and 2-butanol, colorless transparent liquid at room temperature, miscible with ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water, flammable, with mature fruit aroma, mainly used as a solvent for nitrocellulose and lacquer, as well as chemical reagents and flavoring.
isobutyl acetate has typical properties of esters, including hydrolysis, alcoholysis, aminolysis; Addition with Grignard reagent (Grignard reagent) and alkyl lithium, reduced by catalytic hydrogenation and lithium aluminum hydride (lithium aluminum hydride); Claisen condensation reaction with itself or with other esters (Claisen condensation). Isobutyl acetate can be qualitatively detected with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH2OH · HCl) and ferric chloride (FeCl ), other esters, acyl halides, the anhydride will affect the assay.
