N-Butanol 99.5% Industrial Grade

N-Butanol 99.5% Industrial Grade (CAS 71-36-3, molecular formula C4H10O) is a workhorse solvent across coatings, cleaning and process manufacture, valued for its predictable evaporation behaviour and consistent purity from batch to batch. China Chemicals supplies it at 99.5% min in pack sizes from 1 L through to 200 L Drum, so laboratory trial quantities and full production volumes can be sourced from the same specification.

It is also traded as 1-Butanol, Butyl Alcohol, n-Butyl Alcohol. Every consignment ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and the current Safety Data Sheet, and material is stored and picked under stock rotation so you receive product well inside its shelf life.

Typical applications

Butyl acrylate and butyl acetate manufacture
Coalescing and flow agent in coatings
Plasticiser intermediate production
Extraction solvent in antibiotic and hormone processing
Hydraulic and brake fluid formulation
