    CAS: 141-78-6 Classification: Top Note[i]

    Ethyl Acetate is a highly volatile top note with distinct ethereal liquor nuances (particularly brandy and rum). It is used to round out the rough edges of sharp top notes but also to give dazzle to the opening of a scent. Arctander says it is used to give an aged quality to perfumes which might be useful in this modern age of little to no aging of fragrance compounds.

    Do not inhale. Caution should be exercised when working with this material. See the attached safety data sheet for more information.

    Due to the very volatile nature of this product we also sell it at 10% dilution in DPG.

    ETHYL ACETATE
    Odour Profile

    Ethyl Acetate has a sweet, ethereal, fruity aroma reminiscent of pineapple, grape, and pear drops, with a distinct solventy character that becomes more pronounced at higher concentrations.

    Uses

    Provides lift and brightness to top notes in fragrance compositions, enhances fruity accords, and contributes alcoholic nuances; also serves as a cost-effective solvent.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 100%
    IFRA 49: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.
