Cas no 554-12-1 (Methyl propionate)

Methyl propionate (C?H?O?) is an ester with the molecular formula CH?CH?COOCH?. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a fruity odor, commonly used as a solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesives due to its favorable evaporation rate and solvency properties. Its low toxicity and high purity make it suitable for pharmaceutical and food flavoring applications. Methyl propionate exhibits excellent compatibility with resins and polymers, enhancing formulation flexibility. With a relatively low boiling point (79-80°C) and good biodegradability, it is also considered an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solvents. Its stability under standard conditions ensures reliable performance in industrial processes.
