Acetate Esters also seem to occur in various forms including carboxylic acid, which is a component of acetic acid. Acetate and carboxylic acid are both esters of acetic acid. Acetic acid is the conjugate base of acetate. Many acetates or acetic acid esters are commonly used in inks and paints. Other acetate esters are used in the textile and food industries as well as in paints. Acetate esters are produced from acetaldehyde, which is an organic chemical compound.<ref>Unknown, Author.

Acetate, C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is derived and is an ester of acetic acid, which can also be known as vinegar. [[Acetic acid]] is known as [[Hydrogen acetate]], which is a very important organic acid. Forms of acetate occur in various chemical substances. Since Acetate is a chemically created ion, it does not occur naturally in nature. It can however occur as a biosynthesis, which is the most common building block in nature. Instead it tends to combine with other elements to create unique chemical compounds including sodium, cellulose, and vinyl acetate. Acetate usually does not occur by itself, it will most often occur with esters and salts.<ref>Unknown, Author. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate Acetate] ''Wikipedia''. Web.
