Overview of Butyl Lactate

Butyl Lactate is a naturally derived ester formed from lactic acid and butanol. Known for its mild, pleasant aroma and excellent solvent properties, it is widely used across multiple industries. This compound offers biodegradability and low toxicity, making it an environmentally friendly choice in formulations. Its ability to dissolve various resins and polymers makes it valuable in coatings, inks, and cleaning products.

 

Applications of Butyl Lactate
