Product Overview

Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), also known as isopropanol or 2-propanol, is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. Walk into any paint factory, adhesives plant or leather finishing operation in Pakistan and you’ll likely find ethyl acetate somewhere in the process. It’s a workhorse solvent – fast evaporating, relatively low toxicity compared to alternatives, and excellent solvency for resins, lacquers and adhesives.
ISL Chemicals supplies ethyl acetate in both commercial and high-purity grades. We maintain consistent stock levels to support production-scale demand – no supply gaps that disrupt your schedule.
It’s the go-to choice when you need a solvent that evaporates cleanly without leaving residue, doesn’t react aggressively with the substrate, and is safe enough to use in well-ventilated industrial settings. The characteristic fruity odour makes it easy to detect leaks, which is a practical safety advantage in factory environments.
