Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: n-Butanol (1-Butanol / Butan-1-ol / Butyl alcohol)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-107)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99.4 percent or higher. Meticulously processed under Kemaus strict laboratory protocols to ensure exceptionally low water content, free acidity, and organic impurities, delivering high accuracy for quantitative and qualitative testing.
Physical Properties: Clear, colorless liquid with a strong, characteristic, pungent banana-like or fusel alcohol odor.
Solubility: Moderately soluble in water (forms a distinct two-phase system at higher concentrations); completely miscible with general organic solvents including ethanol, ether, and acetone.
Key Use: Widely utilized as a specialized organic solvent in synthesis, recrystallization, and chemical coating formulations. Heavily applied as an extraction solvent for isolating hormones, pharmaceuticals, and complex biomolecules in biochemical applications. Used as a mobile phase component in advanced chromatography and functions as a high-purity chemical intermediate for manufacturing butyl esters.

Safety & Hazards (Critical)

Classification: Flammable liquid and vapor. Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye damage. May cause respiratory irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact triggers immediate severe stinging, intense watering, and potential permanent tissue damage. Prolonged skin contact causes defatting, resulting in severe dryness and irritation. Inhalation of concentrated volatile vapors irritates the respiratory tract and acts on the central nervous system, inducing headaches, dizziness, or drowsiness.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Flammable and Volatile. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a certified flammable safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and excellently ventilated chemical safety zone 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 strictly within a functioning fume hood to avoid exposure to its strong, volatile vapors.
