Description

Uses of Isobutyl Alcohol

Solvent:

Isobutyl alcohol is used as a solvent for dissolving and diluting various organic compounds. It is particularly effective for solubilizing oils, fats, resins, and other non-polar substances.

Extraction:

It is employed in extraction procedures to separate compounds from mixtures, especially in organic chemistry and biochemistry experiments.

Cleaning Agent:

Due to its ability to dissolve contaminants and oils, isobutyl alcohol is used as a cleaning agent for laboratory equipment, glassware, and surfaces.

Reaction Medium:

In certain chemical reactions, isobutyl alcohol can serve as a reaction medium or co-solvent to facilitate the reaction process.

Denaturant:

Isobutyl alcohol is added to ethanol (ethyl alcohol) to denature it, making it unsuitable for consumption. Denatured alcohol is used in laboratories for various purposes without the regulatory restrictions applied to pure ethanol.

Preservative:

It is sometimes used as a preservative or stabilizer in laboratory reagents and solutions.

Research:

Isobutyl alcohol is also used in research settings for experimental purposes, such as in the preparation of specific chemical compounds or in chromatography techniques.

Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride

Original price was: $1,183.00.Current price is: $950.00.
Anhydrous aluminum chloride, often represented as AlCl3, is a chemical compound composed of aluminum and chlorine. "Anhydrous" means it lacks water molecules in its structure. It's a white or pale yellow solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This property makes handling it a bit tricky since it can form a solution with water vapor in the air, turning into a fuming liquid.
