Nature:
-Appearance: Butyl ester is a colorless liquid with a special fruit flavor.
-Solubility: Butyl ester has good solubility in common organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and benzene.
Use:
-Solvent: Butyl ester is widely used as a solvent, especially suitable for industries such as paint, coatings, and cleaning agents. It has good solubility and volatility, can quickly evaporate and dry, and is helpful for the application of coatings.
Method:
- Butyl ester can be prepared by esterification. Butanol (but alcohol) and an acid catalyst are usually used for the reaction, which produces water and Butyl ester. This reaction process needs to be carried out at an appropriate reaction temperature and pressure.
Safety Information:
- Butyl ester is a volatile liquid and is flammable. Keep away from open flames and heat sources, and store in a cool, well-ventilated place.
-Invasion of the respiratory system: Butyl ester has a certain degree of volatility, and long-term exposure to high-concentration Butyl ester steam should be avoided to avoid irritation to the respiratory system.
-Skin Contact: Butyl ester may cause irritation and allergic reactions to the skin. When using, pay attention to avoid prolonged contact or direct contact with the skin.
-eye contact: Butyl ester into the eyes may cause irritation and burns, such as accidental contact with eyes, should immediately rinse with water, and seek medical help.
