Our high-purity material is a colorless liquid that belongs to our broader \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/alcohols\"\u003eAlcohols collection\u003c\/a\u003e and serves as a vital component in organic chemical synthesis, plasticizers, and industrial detergents. As a leading Texas chemical supplier, Alliance Chemical provides this high-quality solvent to meet rigorous manufacturing standards across various processing sectors. This intermediate is widely recognized for its solvency power in coatings, resins, and specialized chemical formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis versatile industrial liquid has a chemical formula of C4H10O and a molecular weight of 74.12. Due to its limited water solubility of approximately 9 % (NIOSH, 2024), it acts as an effective extraction agent and a key raw material for butyl acetate and plasticizers. Our N-butyl alcohol provides a stable reaction medium and outstanding performance as a latent solvent for nitrocellulose lacquers and baked enamels. We ensure that our supply chain maintains the purity required for sensitive chemical processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Grade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelecting the correct grade of N-butyl alcohol is critical for maintaining process stability and preventing chemical degradation. When formulating industrial coatings, high-purity solvents prevent unwanted chemical interactions that could alter the viscosity or curing time of the final product. Using an off-grade or contaminated solvent can lead to phase separation, cloudy finishes, or reduced performance in industrial detergents and plasticizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe right grade ensures that the physical properties—such as the boiling point of 243.9 °F at 760 mmHg and a flash point of 84 °F—remain consistent across production runs. In organic synthesis, trace impurities in lower-grade alcohols can act as catalyst poisons, terminating polymerization reactions prematurely or generating off-spec byproducts. By supplying a highly consistent industrial-grade product, Alliance Chemical helps operators avoid costly batch failures and downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chemical-profile\" data-source=\"canonical\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChemical Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCAS Number\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e71-36-3\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eC4H10O\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e74.12 g\/mol\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBoiling Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e243.9 °F at 760 mmHg (USCG, 1999)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e-129 °F (USCG, 1999)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFlash Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e84 °F (USCG, 1999)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSpecific Gravity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0.81 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Less dense than water; will float\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAppearance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eN-butyl alcohol is a colorless liquid.

It is classified under DOT regulations as UN1120, Hazard Class 3, Packing Group III, with the proper shipping name Butanols. The GHS signal word for this chemical is Danger. Because it is a Class 3 flammable liquid with a flash point of 84 °F, all transport must strictly comply with federal hazardous materials regulations, ensuring secure packaging and proper vehicle placarding during transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard safety protocols dictate the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling this material to mitigate risk from GHS hazard statements such as H318 (Causes serious eye damage), H315 (Causes skin irritation), H302 (Harmful if swallowed), H335 (May cause respiratory irritation), and H336 (May cause drowsiness or dizziness). Workers must wear chemical splash goggles, butyl rubber gloves, and protective clothing to prevent exposure. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every order outlines these requirements in full detail to maintain a safe working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHandling \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorage of N-butyl alcohol requires a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight. It should be kept in tightly closed containers compatible with flammable solvents, such as steel or high-density polyethylene. Avoid contact with incompatible substances including strong oxidizing agents, halogens, and strong acids to prevent hazardous exothermic reactions. Ensure grounding and bonding protocols are active during transfer to mitigate static discharge hazards, and maintain storage temperatures well below the autoignition temperature of 650 °F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrder \u0026amp; Documentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a leading distributor of high-quality industrial chemicals, Alliance Chemical provides the reliable documentation your compliance team requires.
