Product Overview
n-Butylamine 99% AR is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for precision in laboratory applications. This clear, colorless liquid features a strong amine odor and is highly soluble in organic solvents, making it a versatile choice for various chemical processes. With a boiling point of 77-78°C and a density of 0.74 g/mL at 20°C, it offers consistent performance in reactions requiring primary amines. The AR grade ensures minimal impurities, providing reliable results in sensitive applications. Its molecular formula (C4H11N) and molecular weight (73.14 g/mol) make it suitable for use in derivatization reactions, solvent extraction, and as a building block in organic synthesis. The reagent is packaged in high-quality, leak-proof containers to maintain purity during storage and handling. For optimal shelf life, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers and acids.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of n-Butylamine 99% AR when stored properly?
When stored in tightly sealed original containers at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, n-Butylamine 99% AR maintains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this product be used in reactions involving strong acids?
While n-Butylamine can react with acids to form salts, the exothermic nature of such reactions requires careful temperature control and gradual addition to prevent violent reactions or pressure buildup.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always use in a fume hood with proper ventilation, wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation of vapors and skin contact, as it can cause severe irritation and burns.
4. Is this product compatible with glass containers for long-term storage?
Yes, n-Butylamine can be stored in glass containers, but ensure they are properly sealed with PTFE-lined caps to prevent leakage and contamination from moisture.
5. How does the AR grade differ from technical grade n-Butylamine?
The AR grade undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace impurities, resulting in higher consistency and reliability for analytical applications compared to technical grade, which may contain higher levels of contaminants.
