[[Ethyl acetate]] is a form of acetate that is a colorless liquid that tends to have a subtle sweet smell. Ethyl acetate is often used in glues and nail polish removers. It has also been an ingredient in decaffeinated teas and coffee. Like Acetate, it is also an ester, but ethyl acetate is an ester of ethanol and acetic acid. On the negative side of this acetate, it can be a poisonous insect killer. For humans there is little risk of toxicity, but can cause side effect including irritations.<ref> [http://www.britannica.com/science/acetate Acetate Ester] ''Encyclopedia Britannica''. Web.
