Features Of Eastman Methyl Formate 97%

  1. High-purity ester solvent with consistent 97% minimum assay for reliable process performance.

  2. Low boiling point (31.5 °C) enables efficient removal in coating, ink, and adhesive formulations.

  3. Excellent solvency for cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, and acrylic resins without adverse side reactions.

  4. Low water content (<0.1%) minimizes hydrolysis risk in moisture-sensitive synthesis and formulation applications.

  5. Non-halogenated, VOC-compliant solvent supporting regulatory compliance in industrial coatings and electronics cleaning.

Typical Applications Of Eastman Methyl Formate 97%

  1. Solvent in high-solids industrial coatings for automotive and coil coating systems.

  2. Carrier and reaction medium in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis (e.g., formylation steps).

  3. Component in specialty inks for flexible packaging and gravure printing.

  4. Cleaning agent for precision electronics and optical components due to rapid evaporation and residue-free drying.

  5. Co-solvent in agrochemical formulations to enhance active ingredient solubility and stability.
