What is Isobutanol (IBA CAS 78-83-1)?
Isobutanol (also known as Isobutyl Alcohol) is a branched-chain alcohol with the chemical formula C₄H₉OH. It is an isomer of butanol (along with n-butanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol). Isobutanol chemical is miscible with water and many organic solvents and is widely used in solvent, chemical intermediate, and fuel additive applications.
Why is isobutanol (cas 78-83-1) better than ethanol?
Isobutanol is often considered better than ethanol as a biofuel because it has higher energy density, lower vapor pressure, and lower hygroscopicity. However, for most common uses (disinfection, food use, cosmetics), ethanol is far superior.
isobutanol VS. Ethanol
| Slower evaporation=better flow & gloss. | ||
| Higher energy density, less water absorption. | ||
| Different structures make different products. | ||
| Effective & safe for skin contact; isobutanol is toxic. | ||
| Non-toxic and approved for consumables. |
