Description :
Isobutyl Alcohol is a clear, colourless liquid with the molecular formula C4H10O and molecular weight 74.12 g/mol. It is a primary alcohol with a characteristic alcoholic, slightly fruity odour, widely used in chemical synthesis, solvents, and fragrance formulations.
Known for its high purity and low water content, Isobutyl Alcohol is preferred in industrial applications, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It can be blended with other alcohols and solvents to improve solubility, volatility, and stability in formulations.
Acts as a solvent for fragrance oils, enhancing diffusion and stability.
Used in perfumes, body sprays, and colognes to stabilise aroma compounds.
Commonly incorporated in floral, woody, and fruity fragrance types.
Suitable for use in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
Helps solubilise essential oils and fragrance compounds.
Maintains formulation stability without altering the scent profile.
Serves as a key intermediate in the production of esters (like Isobutyl Acetate) and other organic compounds.
Used as a solvent for paints, coatings, lacquers, and resins.
Participates in chemical reactions such as esterification, oxidation, and condensation.
Highly flammable liquid; store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat or sparks.
Wear protective gloves, goggles, and clothing while handling.
Avoid inhalation, ingestion, or prolonged skin contact.
Follow local chemical safety standards and MSDS instructions.
