Ethyl Acetate
Fast-evaporating main solvent with a mild, fruity odour – the standard for flexo and gravure printing and solvent-based adhesives.
- Flexo and gravure printing inks
- Wood coatings and furniture finishes
- Adhesives and sealants

From fast-evaporating main solvents to flow agents: PENPET Green Chemicals supplies bio-based and CO₂-reduced solvents as drop-ins for existing formulations – fully documented, from Hamburg across Europe.

Four solvents that cover a complete formulation – from thinner to retarder.
Fast-evaporating main solvent with a mild, fruity odour – the standard for flexo and gravure printing and solvent-based adhesives.
Very fast-evaporating, strong solvent for thinning, equipment cleaning and resin synthesis.
Versatile co-solvent for water-borne systems, degreasing and screen cleaning – in pharma and industrial grade.
Slow-evaporating alcohol from fusel oil with good solvency for nitrocellulose and resins – improves flow and gloss, prevents blistering.
Evaporation rate governs drying, flow and surface finish – find the right solvent for your system.

We deliver in the packaging your production needs – as spot order, frame contract or just-in-time. ADR-compliant and with dedicated contacts.
Same chemistry, same specification – existing approvals and equipment remain unchanged.
TDS, SDS, CoA and – where available – life cycle data for your Scope 3 reporting.
Bio-based feedstocks or mass-balance material – transparently declared per product.
Part of the PENPET Group, trading chemicals since 1992 – with its own logistics in Hamburg.
Usually not. Bio-based, recycled and mass-balanced products are chemically identical to the fossil product and are used 1:1. We still recommend a sample for your approval.
Technical data sheet, safety data sheet (DE/EN) and certificate of analysis per batch. For selected products, life cycle data (PCF) is also available – for example isoamyl alcohol.
From drums and IBCs to ISO tank containers. Pack sizes depend on density and product – details are given on each product page.
