FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of n-Butyl acetate in AcroSeal® packaging?
The AcroSeal® packaging extends the shelf life by minimizing exposure to moisture and air, typically maintaining purity for 2-3 years when stored properly.
2. Is this n-Butyl acetate compatible with plastic containers?
It is generally safe with HDPE and PTFE containers but may degrade certain plastics like polystyrene over time. Always check material compatibility.
3. Can this grade be used for GC-MS analysis?
Yes, the 99.5% purity makes it suitable for GC-MS applications where high solvent purity is required to avoid interference.
4. How should I store n-Butyl acetate to maintain its purity?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
5. Are there any safer alternatives to n-Butyl acetate for similar applications?
Ethyl acetate is a common alternative with lower toxicity, though it has a different evaporation rate and solvency profile.
