What is Calcium Butyrate CAS 5743-36-2?

Calcium Butyrate is the calcium salt of butyric acid with the molecular formula C8H14CaO4 and a molecular weight of 214.27. It is also called calcium dibutyrate or calcium butanoate and is normally supplied as a white crystalline powder or white solid.

What is Calcium Butyrate used for?

It is used as a source of butyrate in animal nutrition and feed programs where the offered grade and local regulatory status allow. It may also be positioned as a specialty functional ingredient or organic acid salt for controlled technical formulation projects.

What are typical specifications for CAS 5743-36-2?

Commercial material is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder or solid with a molecular weight of 214.27 and a melting point reported above 300 C. Assay, calcium butyrate content, moisture, particle form, and trace impurities should be confirmed for the selected grade.

How should Calcium Butyrate be stored and handled?

Store it in tightly closed, moisture-protective containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Supplier recommendations may include room-temperature sealed storage or refrigerated storage at 2-8 C, so follow the current SDS and site procedures.

Product Description

Calcium Butyrate CAS 5743-36-2, also called calcium dibutyrate, is the calcium salt of butyric acid with the molecular formula C8H14CaO4 and EINECS 227-265-7.

Synonyms: Calcium dibutyrate; Butyric acid calcium salt; Calcium butanoate.

CAS: 5743-36-2.

Molecular formula: C8H14CaO4.

It is a white crystalline powder or white solid with a molecular weight of about 214.27.

The melting point is reported above 300 °C in some supplier references.

It is used as a source of butyrate where the offered grade and local regulatory status allow.

In animal nutrition and feed programs it is positioned as a controlled butyrate source for grade-dependent use.

As a specialty functional ingredient or organic acid salt it is used in controlled technical formulation projects.

Compared with free butyric acid, the salt form can change odor, handling, solubility, and delivery characteristics.

It is suitable for laboratory, specialty-ingredient, and selected technical-material applications subject to customer validation.

It is applicable in projects where an organic-acid calcium salt is required in controlled composition.

Store in tightly closed, moisture-protective containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Handle with suitable PPE and standard industrial hygiene; avoid skin/eye contact and inhalation of dust.

Use adequate ventilation and controlled handling procedures, and review the latest SDS before storage, transfer, sampling, or process use.

Every batch is controlled by identity, assay, calcium butyrate content, moisture, particle form, and trace impurities, with COA/TDS/SDS supplied per grade.

Confirm appearance, assay, calcium butyrate content, moisture, packaging, and grade as required.

Q:
How does Calcium Butyrate differ from butyric acid?

A: Butyric acid is the free short-chain fatty acid, while calcium butyrate is its calcium salt. The salt form can change odor, handling, solubility, and delivery characteristics, which is useful when a more controlled butyrate source is required.
