  • Applications

    Butyl phenyl ether (CAS 1126-79-0) is a specialty ether commonly used as a non-polar solvent and reaction medium in organic synthesis. It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance compounds and other specialty chemicals, and is used as a solvent or processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. It can be employed in cleaning formulations for industrial applications and may function as a processing aid or precursor in certain polymer and plastics manufacturing routes. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
