Methyl Acetate
Methyl acetate is a clear, colorless, neutral liquid with a mild, ester-like odor. It is one of the best solvents available. It is used predominantly for dyes and in the coatings, adhesives, cosmetics, plant-protection and pharmaceutical industries. It is occasionally used as a solvent, being weakly polar and lipophilic, but its close relative ethyl acetate is a more common solvent being less toxic and less soluble in water.
