General description

tert-Butanol (tert-butyl alcohol, TBA) is a monohydric alcohol. It is commonly used as a solvent in chemistry and a denaturant for ethanol. TBA is an ingredient in paint removers, an octane booster for gasoline, and an oxygenate gasoline additive. It is also an intermediate material in the synthesis of other chemical compounds like methyl tert-butyl ether, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, ethyl tert-butyl ether.

Application

tert-Butanol is used as:
  • A cosolvent with water (tert-Butanol/Water binary system) in the production of poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles.
  • A solvent in the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (Zinc oxide nanoparticles) from zinc acetylacetonate hydrate.

Features and Benefits

tert-Butanol has:,Low vaporization latent
