Acetates
Acetate esters, such as diacetin and ethylene glycol diacetate, are versatile esters derived from acetic acid. While commonly used as solvents and plasticisers, they also serve to accelerate the curing of phenolic resins in the foundry industry. Their characteristics and efficiency make them essential in adhesives, coatings, and industrial applications.
