Industrial Applications
As a versatile alkyl halide, 1-Chlorobutane is predominantly utilized in the agricultural chemical industry as a synthetic intermediate. Its primary application lies in the multi-step production of Myclobutanil (CAS 88671-89-0), a systemic fungicide effective against a broad spectrum of plant pathogens. Beyond agrochemicals, it may also serve in the preparation of quaternary ammonium compounds, surfactants, and other specialty organic molecules requiring butyl group introduction.
Key advantages of our 1-Chlorobutane include:
- Consistently high purity (≥99.0%) with low moisture and impurity profiles
- Optimized for scalability in continuous or batch chemical processes
- Compliant with international safety and handling standards for industrial solvents
- Available in flexible packaging to meet diverse logistical needs
Stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, this product is typically supplied in 200 kg steel drums, with custom packaging options available upon request.
