Ethyl acetate is a clear, colourless, and highly volatile liquid with a sweet fruity smell. It is a popular organic solvent widely used in various industrial and commercial applications. Ethyl acetate is soluble in water, alcohols, and most organic solvents, making it a versatile solvent.

In industrial settings, ethyl acetate is used as a solvent for the production of varnishes, lacquers, and other coatings, as well as in the production of plastics, printing inks, and adhesives. It is also commonly used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries as a reaction solvent, extraction solvent, and crystallization solvent.

In addition to industrial uses, ethyl acetate is also used in a variety of consumer products, such as nail polish remover, decaffeinated tea and coffee, and perfumes. It is also used as a flavouring agent and in the production of artificial fruit extracts.
