3-methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate

3-Methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate (CAS 103429-90-9) is a specialty ester solvent with a slow evaporation profile and strong solvency.

Where is 3-methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate used?

• Printing inks and packaging coatings: coalescing solvent supporting smooth film formation and reducing defects in high-solids systems
• Personal care: nail care products, hair sprays and aerosol formulations
• Fragrance solvent or diluent in cosmetic bases
• Industrial coatings: adjusts viscosity and extends open time in solvent-borne formulations
• It offers good compatibility with a broad range of resins and active ingredients.

Good to know: A slow-evaporating carrier improves spreadability and finish quality; low odor intensity and ester character suit sensory-sensitive products.
