Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 100ml and 1L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
Organic synthesis
Butyraldehyde undergoes reactions typical of alkyl aldehydes, and these define many of the uses of this compound. Important reactions include hydrogenation to the alcohol, oxidation to the acid, and base-catalyzed condensation.
Paints and varnishes
Butyraldehyde is a component in the two-step synthesis of trimethylolpropane, which is used for the production of alkyd resins. Alkyds are then in turn used for paints, varnishes and in moulds for casting. They are the dominant resin or binder in most commercial oil-based coatings.
Plasticisers
In the presence of a base, two equivalents of butyraldehyde undergo aldol condensation to give 2-ethylhexenal. This unsaturated aldehyde is then partially hydrogenated to form 2-ethylhexanal, a precursor to plasticisers such as bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate.
Hazard Phrases: Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Causes serious eye irritation.
Prec Phrases: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. Keep container tightly closed. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/ Use only non-sparking tools. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
