Applications
4-Ethoxybutanoate is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a solvent or processing aid in coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations. It can function as a plasticizer or processing diluent in polymer formulations, and is commonly evaluated as a precursor for fragrance compounds and cosmetic esters, with pharmaceutical uses subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
