What is Isobutyl Alcohol Liquid?

Isobutyl alcohol is a colorless, oily solvent with a sweet whiskey taste but a wine-like, unpleasant odor. As a class IC flammable liquid, isobutyl alcohol has a flashpoint at or above 73°F and below 100°F. It acts as a midway for synthetic resins and is a product of fermentation.

What is isobutyl alcohol liquid used for?

Coatings, Lacquers, and Paints: This is its primary application. Isobutyl alcohol 's slower evaporation rate allows for better leveling, flow, and gloss, preventing defects like "blushing" (a whitish haze caused by rapid cooling due to solvent evaporation).

 

Chemical Synthesis: As a primary alcohol, Isobutanol is a key raw material for producing isobutyl acetate (a important solvent with a pear-like odor) and other esters used in plasticizers and lubricant additives.

 

Specialty Solvent: Isobutyl Alcohol (CAS 78-83-1) is used in printing inks and as a solvent for resins that don't dissolve well in faster-evaporating solvents like IPA.
