3- نطاق التطبيق والاستخدام

 

Methyl acetate is a fast-evaporating solvent widely used in nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, paints, coatings, adhesives, and nail-polish removers. It serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis to produce pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. Its low toxicity and agreeable odor also make it suitable for food-grade flavoring and extraction processes.
