Description

Isobutyl Alcohol (CAS No.: 78-83-1) is one of the four isomers of butanol, featuring a branched methyl structure. Compared to linear n-butanol, its physical properties differ slightly, but it shares typical alcohol characteristics: miscibility with many organic solvents, good solvency for various resins and oils, and a moderate evaporation rate. In the coatings industry, it is commonly used as a solvent and thinner for nitrocellulose lacquers, amino resin paints, and acrylic paints, helping to adjust the viscosity and drying properties of coatings. In the chemical sector, it is an important raw material for synthesizing plasticizers like isobutyl acetate and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP); and is also used in manufacturing fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates, gasoline additives, and surfactants. Additionally, it serves as an extractant and dehydrating agent. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced via processes such as oxo synthesis or fermentation, achieving a purity of ≥99.0% with low moisture and carbonyl compound content, light color, and stable quality. It meets the requirements of industries such as coatings, plastics, fragrances, and fine chemicals.
