Sec-butyl Acetate
Sec-butyl Acetate (SBAC) is one of four butyl acetate isomers.
This colorless, flammable liquid with fruity odor can dissolve many resins and organic matters. Normally, SBAC has similar properties with other butyl acetate isomers but lower boiling point and faster evaporating speed.
