Description

Isopropyl acetate (CAS 108-21-4 ), also known by its FEMA 2926 designation, is a fast-evaporating ester solvent used across food flavoring and cosmetic formulation. Its clean, fruity odor profile makes it a functional ingredient in both flavor systems and fragrance blends. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a flavoring agent to impart fruity notes. It is commonly used to provide pear-like notes in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. Cosmetic and personal care formulators use it as a carrier solvent in nail care products for quick-dry results. The rapid evaporation rate supports efficient formulations in the beauty industry. It also serves as a processing solvent in flavor concentrate production, helping to dissolve and homogenize aromatic compounds. This ensures proper incorporation into finished products before distribution. In fragrance compounding, it contributes both as a diluent and as a character note in fruity or floral compositions. Isopropyl acetate is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. Food-grade material is available meeting FEMA and FCC specifications. These quality standards support compliance requirements for flavor applications. Technical-grade supply is also standard for cosmetic and industrial solvent end uses across various global markets.
