Ethyl Acetate

Ethyl acetate is used primarily as a solvent and diluent, being favored because of its low cost, low toxicity, and agreeable odor.[8] For example, it is commonly used to clean circuit boards and in some nail varnish removers (acetone is also used). Coffee beans and tea leaves are decaffeinated with this solvent.[9] It is also used in paints as an activator or hardener. Ethyl acetate is present in confectionery, perfumes, and fruits
