n-Butyl acetate (Butyl acetate)
Product Overview & Quality
- Product Name: n-Butyl acetate (Butyl acetate)
- Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-109)
- Grade: Laboratory Grade (Lab Grade) featuring an exceptionally high premium purity of 99.5 percent. Strictly manufactured under Kemaus standard quality control to guarantee reliable chemical performance and consistent solvent strength. Excellently suited for academic chemistry laboratories, organic extraction methods, and industrial product formulation research.
- Physical Properties: Clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pleasant, fruity odor resembling bananas. It exhibits moderate volatility.
- Solubility: Very slightly soluble in water (forms a distinct two-phase layer); completely miscible with common organic solvents including alcohols, ethers, and oils.
- Key Use: Widely utilized as an effective organic solvent for dissolving resins, nitrocellulose, polymers, fats, and oils in coating and adhesive research. Commonly applied as a specialized extraction solvent for separating organic constituents during sample preparations. Also functions as an industrial-strength cleaning and degreasing agent for precision laboratory components.
Safety & Hazards (Critical)
- Classification: Flammable liquid and vapor. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
- Health Risks: Inhalation of concentrated volatile vapors irritates the respiratory tract and may induce central nervous system depression, leading to headaches, dizziness, or drowsiness. Prolonged or repeated skin contact causes defatting of biological tissues, resulting in localized dryness and irritation. Direct eye exposure causes temporary mechanical watering or redness.
- First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Handling & Storage
- Storage: Flammable Material. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a certified flammable safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated chemical safety area at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, static discharge, and strong oxidizing agents.
- Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and an organic vapor protective respirator. Handle within a functioning fume hood to avoid direct exposure to volatile vapors.
