General description

1-Butanol is the primary alcohol that can be used as a carrier liquid for the extraction of synthetic resins, natural resins, paints, essential oils, gums, coatings, dyes, camphor, and alkaloids. It can be used as an extracting solvent for hormones, vitamins, and antibiotics. In the production of paint removers and industrial cleaners 1-butanol is being used. It is also used in the manufacture of rubber products, plastics, coating solvents, and dibutyl phthalate.
Our premium ACS solvents are ideal for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning. They meet or exceed the rigorous standards of the American Chemical Society (ACS), ensuring high-quality results for your research needs.

Premium ACS Solvents: Our solvents meet or exceed the stringent standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring high quality and reliability for your laboratory applications.

Replicable and Publishable Results: Designed for consistency, our solvents deliver results that can be reliably reproduced, making them ideal for research that requires publication.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning, our solvents cater to a wide range of research needs in the laboratory.

Application

1-Butanol can be used:
  • As a solvent along with the water in the delignification of sugar cane bagasse.
  • As a both reagent and reaction medium in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from zinc acetylacetonate hydrate as precursor.
  • As an additive in the diesel-biodiesel-butanol tertiary blend which leads to fuel sustainability.
  • As a reactant in the enzyme catalyzed esterification reaction of oleic acid to butyl oleate.
