Acetic acid, glacial appears as a clear colorless liquid with a strong odor of vinegar. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Used to make other chemicals, as a food additive, and in petroleum production.

Ethyl acetate is the organic compound with the formula CH3−COO−CH2−CH3, simplified to C4H8O2. This colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee. Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent.

sec-Butyl acetate, or s-butyl acetate, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H12O2. It is a clear flammable liquid with a sweet smell. It is mainly used as a paint solvent, thinner, various vegetable oils and resin solvents. It can also be used in the manufacture of plastics and spices, and can also be used as a gasoline anti-knock agent.

Vinyl acetate appears as a clear colorless liquid. Flash point 18°F. Density 7.8 lb / gal. Slightly soluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. Vapors irritate the eyes and respiratory system. May polymerize if heated or contaminated. If polymerization occurs inside a container, the container may violently rupture. Used to make adhesives, paints, and plastics.

N-Butyl acetate, also known as butyl ethanoate, is an ester that is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature. It is found in many types of fruit, where along with other chemicals, it imparts characteristic flavors and has a sweet smell of banana or apple.
