    Packaging

    Standard packaging is commonly supplied in 170 kg drums or according to shipment requirement.

    Packaging information may vary by grade, destination, and transport arrangement.

    Storage Conditions

    • Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse.
    • Keep away from fire and heat sources.
    • Storage temperature should not exceed 30°C.
    • Protect from direct sunlight and keep containers tightly sealed.
    • Store separately from oxidants, acids, and other incompatible materials.

    Safety Precautions

    • Operate in closed systems with full ventilation where possible.
    • Prevent vapor accumulation in the workplace air.
    • Keep away from fire, heat sources, and smoking areas.
    • Avoid contact with oxidants and acids, and prevent packaging damage during handling.
    • Refer to the latest SDS before storage, transport, and industrial use.

    FAQ

    1. What is n-Butyl Alcohol mainly used for?
    It is mainly used as an industrial solvent in coatings, paints, inks, extraction systems, and downstream butyl derivative manufacturing.
    2. Are n-Butanol, 1-Butanol, and n-Butyl Alcohol the same substance?
    Yes. The product page lists n-Butanol and 1-Butanol as synonyms for n-Butyl Alcohol with CAS 71-36-3.
    3. Is this product better classified as an industrial solvent rather than a specialty additive?
    Yes. It is more appropriately positioned as a bulk industrial solvent and chemical raw material.
    4. In which industries is n-Butyl Alcohol commonly applied?
    It is commonly applied in coatings, paints, printing inks, extraction systems, and chemical manufacturing routes for butyl derivatives.
    5. What packaging is commonly used for this product?
