Description and Uses

Ethyl lactate is used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and many cellulose ethers and resins. It is also used in lacquers, paints, enamels, varnishes, stencil sheets, safety glass and flavoring. Ethyl lactate is furthermore used in some cosmetic formulations in soaps, detergents, creams and lotions with a maximum concentration of 0.2 %. In recent years it has been used as degreaser as a substitute for trichloroethylene.
