Quick Answer
CAS No.141-78-6 Ethyl Acetate chemical is commonly supplied in 180 kg steel drums, 200 L drums, 1000 L IBC totes, ISO tanks, and bulk tankers depending on order volume, transportation method, storage conditions, and end-use requirements.
For international bulk shipments, steel drums are suitable for small and medium orders, IBC totes provide better handling efficiency for regular consumption, while ISO tanks are generally the most cost-effective solution for large-volume imports.
Choosing the correct ethyl acetate packaging helps buyers reduce logistics costs, maintain product quality, improve unloading efficiency, and ensure compliance with dangerous goods transportation requirements.
1. Why Ethyl Acetate Packaging Matters for Industrial Buyers
Ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6) is a widely used organic solvent across numerous industries, including paints and coatings, adhesives, printing inks, pharmaceuticals, food extraction, and cosmetics. Because it is classified as a flammable liquid (UN1173, Class 3), selecting the appropriate packaging is a critical part of procurement rather than simply a logistics decision.
For industrial buyers, packaging is not only a container choice. It is an important part of the total supply chain cost.
A suitable packaging solution can help:
- Reduce freight cost per ton
- Minimize product loss during handling
- Improve unloading efficiency
- Match production requirements
- Simplify international logistics
Common Questions Buyers Often Ask
- What packaging is most suitable for small trial orders?
- Is ethyl acetate better shipped in drums, IBC totes, or ISO tanks?
- What documents are required for export and customs clearance?
- How does packaging choice affect shipping cost and warehouse storage?
- Which packaging option is best for regular monthly consumption?
In most cases, steel drums are preferred for small orders, IBC totes are better for regular industrial use, and ISO tanks are the most efficient option for bulk shipments.
