N-BUTANOL (99.7)

  Product Detail  

Normal Butanol (NBA)

N-Butanol is a primary alcohol with a 4-carbon structure. It is one of the group of "fusel alcohols", which have more than two carbon atoms and have significant solubility in water.

It is used for composite component, fuels and fuel additives, plasticizer, inter company shipment etc. alternatively it can be used as a solvent in the creation of consumer products. 

N-Butanol is used as an ingredient in perfumes and as a solvent for the extraction of  essential oils . n-Butanol is also used as an extractant in the manufacture of  antibiotics ,  hormones , and vitamins ; a solvent for paints, coatings, natural resins, gums, synthetic resins, dyes, alkaloids , and  camphor . Other miscellaneous applications of n-butanol are as a swelling agent in textiles, as a component of  brake fluids , cleaning formulations,  degreasers , and repellents; and as a component of ore floation agents, and of wood-treating systems.

N-Butanol has been proposed as a substitute for  diesel fuel  and  gasoline . It is produced in small quantities in nearly all  fermentations  (see  fuel oil ), but species of  Clostridium  produce much higher yields of butanol, and research is currently underway to increase the ultimate yield of bio butanol  from  biomass .

The production or, in some cases, use of the following substances may result in exposure to n-butanol:  artificial leather ,  butyl esters ,  rubber cement , dyes, fruit essences, lacquers, motion picture, and photographic films, raincoats, perfumes,  pyroxylin  plastics,  rayon , safety glass, shellac  varnish, and waterproofed cloth.
