1. Butyraldehyde CAS 123-72-8 is a key intermediate in organic synthesis, primarily used to produce butanol (a solvent/fuel additive) and 2-ethylhexanol (for plasticizers like DEHP).
2. Butyraldehyde serves as a raw material in making polyvinyl butyral (PVB), a resin used for safety glass interlayers in cars and buildings.
3. Butyraldehyde CAS 123-72-8 is occasionally used in the fragrance industry for formulating scents and as a flavoring agent in small, regulated amounts.
1. Store Butyraldehyde CAS 123-72-8 in a sealed, airtight container (e.g., glass or chemically resistant plastic) to prevent vapor release and oxidation, as Butyraldehyde is prone to polymerizing or reacting with air.
2. Keep Butyraldehyde in a cool, well-ventilated area (ideally 0–4°C, like a refrigerator) away from heat, sparks, or open flames—its low flash point (~-12°C) makes Butyraldehyde highly flammable.
3. Isolate Butyraldehyde CAS 123-72-8 from strong oxidizers, acids, and bases; label the container with "Flammable" and "Irritant" warnings, and avoid storing it near incompatible chemicals to prevent hazardous reactions.
