Detailed information about the product
Product Overview
n-Butyl Acetate 99.5% AR (CAS No. 123-86-4) is an analytical-reagent form of the linear acetate ester produced from acetic acid and 1-butanol. Its intermediate polarity and limited water miscibility permit distribution of many organic substances between aqueous and ester-rich phases, making its solvent behaviour relevant to extraction and non-aqueous analytical procedures.
The AR grade is intended for precise analytical work of a general nature where n-butyl acetate is used as a reagent, extraction medium or solution-preparation solvent. The grade designation supports procedures requiring controlled reagent cleanliness and common impurity limits.

Storage Conditions
Keep the container tightly closed and protect the solvent from evaporation, moisture and laboratory contamination. Minimise repeated prolonged opening to preserve analytical cleanliness and prevent changes in composition that could influence reagent blanks or extraction behaviour.
