3-methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate

3-Methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate (CAS 103429-90-9) is a specialty ester solvent valued in formulation and coating applications for its slow evaporation profile and strong solvency. It offers good compatibility with a broad range of resins and active ingredients.

This chemical is a preferred choice where controlled drying and film formation are required. In printing inks and packaging coatings, it functions as a coalescing solvent that supports smooth film formation and reduces defects in high-solids systems.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into nail care products, hair sprays, and aerosol formulations. In these applications, a slow-evaporating carrier improves spreadability and finish quality for the consumer.

Its low odor intensity and ester character also make it suitable as a fragrance solvent or diluent in cosmetic bases. This is particularly useful where the sensory profile matters to the end product and overall user experience.

In industrial coating systems, it is used to adjust viscosity and extend open time in solvent-borne formulations. This versatility allows for precise control over the application process in various manufacturing environments.

3-Methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate is supplied as a clear liquid in standard drum and IBC packaging. It is available in technical and cosmetic-grade specifications to meet the purity requirements of both industrial and personal care applications.
