Methyl acetate, a colourless, flammable liquid, is an organic compound, widely used in low toxic solvent products like paints, adhesives, and nail varnish remover. It is also used as a solvent for many resins and oils.
High purity methyl acetate has low water and alcohol content, which makes it ideal for moisture sensitive paints, thus, aiding the market growth.

Low moisture-attraction tendency; rising demand for environment friendly products; the thriving packaging sector; and expansion of the paints and coatings sector are impacting the methyl acetate market growth
The use of methyl acetate helps boost aerosols' efficiency and other coatings that are moisture sensitive due to its low moisture-attraction tendency.
Methyl acetate is biodegradable, making industrial cleaners an environmentally friendly option. Focusing on manufacturing ecologically friendly goods has historically meant sacrificing the overall efficacy of the product. Methyl acetate can eliminate heavier contaminants while still protecting the atmosphere due to its excellent solvent activity and higher density.
Flexographic ink, which is primarily used for printing applications in the packaging industry, is driving the market demand. In nations such as India, China, Germany, and the US, the packaging industry is growing quickly due to the increasing popularity of internet trade and e-commerce and the increasing demand for shipment of doorstep commodities.
The high purity and low volatility offered by methyl acetate is increasing its use as solvent in paints and coatings. The growing construction sector across the globe is leading to an increased demand for paints and coating products.
Methyl acetate's potential to increase coating systems' shelf life and minimise product waste is an added advantage. This is primarily due to its low moisture-attraction tendency. Methyl acetate can also reduce the possibility of visual imperfections and defects in coatings applied under wet conditions.
Due to properties such as corrosion resistance, toughness, water resistance, heat resistance, and others, methyl acetate is increasingly used in the paint and coating industry. In several sectors, methyl acetate is extensively used as a solvent since methyl acetate may potentially substitute alcohols and ethers as an oxygenated fuel and combustion enhancer in terms of distillation, engine efficiency, and exhaust emission characteristics.
