Isobutyl Acetate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Methylpropyl Acetate
- Isobutyl Ethanoate
Isobutyl acetate supplier for paint, ink, adhesive, plastics and industrial solvent buyers in Malaysia. Also called 2-methylpropyl acetate or isobutyl ethanoate, it is a clear, colourless acetate ester with CAS 110-19-0 and formula C6H12O2.
Industrial solvent grade covers general manufacturing and formulation work. Technical or coatings grade is selected when solvent balance, water, colour and resin compatibility are controlled by the formulation, while high-purity material is requested for tighter process limits.
Coating and ink formulators use isobutyl acetate in paints, lacquers, varnishes and thinners, and it also serves as a solvent in adhesives, sealants, selected plastics operations and compatible cleaning blends. It is the branched isomer and should not be confused with n-butyl acetate.
Send the grade, solvent system, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement, with pricing supplied for a stated validity period.

Isobutyl Acetate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial solvent grade isobutyl acetate | clear, colourless liquid | — | Solvent in coatings, printing inks, adhesives and general manufacturing formulations where an acetate ester with a moderate evaporation profile is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical and coatings grade isobutyl acetate | clear, colourless liquid | — | Paint, lacquer, ink and adhesive systems where solvent balance, resin compatibility, colour and water limits are set by the formulation. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity isobutyl acetate | clear, low-colour liquid | — | Controlled process or formulation work requiring tighter purity, water and non-volatile residue limits than a general solvent grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Store sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, ignition sources and incompatible oxidising materials. Handle the quoted grade according to its supplied safety information.
Common questions about isobutyl acetate
Are isobutyl acetate and 2-methylpropyl acetate the same product?
Yes. Isobutyl acetate, 2-methylpropyl acetate and isobutyl ethanoate identify the same acetate ester, CAS 110-19-0. State the full name or CAS when the formulation also uses other acetate solvents.
Is isobutyl acetate the same as n-butyl acetate?
No. Isobutyl acetate is the branched isomer, while n-butyl acetate is the normal-butyl isomer. Their evaporation, solvency and formulation behaviour differ, so the required isomer should be named on the purchase enquiry.
Which isobutyl acetate grade should I request?
Industrial grade suits general solvent and manufacturing work. Technical or coatings grade is selected when the paint, ink or adhesive formulation sets tighter solvent-balance controls, while high-purity material is used for a controlled process specification.
What specifications matter for an isobutyl acetate enquiry?
Provide the application and any limits for purity, water, colour, acidity and non-volatile residue. A current solvent specification or formulation target helps match the quoted grade to the drying and resin-compatibility needs.
What is isobutyl acetate used for in coatings and inks?
It is used as a solvent in paints, lacquers, varnishes, printing inks and related thinners, and can also support adhesive, sealant and resin systems. Suitability depends on the resin, evaporation balance and process conditions.
How do I request an isobutyl acetate price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, solvent system, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Include preferred packing and documentation requirements so the quotation can address the complete requirement and state its validity period.
