Butyl Formate CAS 592-84-7

1. Acts Butyl formate CAS 592-84-7 as a key flavor additive in food and beverages, imparting a bright, fruity note to fruit juices, candies and baked goods (FEMA 2187 compliant).

2. Serves Butyl formate as a volatile solvent in industrial coatings, adhesives and ink formulations, improving coating flow and quick-drying performance.

3. Functions as an intermediate in organic synthesis for manufacturing specialty esters and plasticizers used in polymer production.

Store butyl formate in sealed amber glass containers at 10–25°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames (flash point ~25°C, highly flammable). Isolate from strong oxidants, acids and alkalis to prevent hydrolysis and preserve its fresh, fruity-plum aroma stability. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles and a vapor respirator during handling; avoid inhalation, skin and eye contact. Reseal tightly after use; dispose of waste per local hazardous chemical regulations.

Butyl formate is an industrial flavor, solvent and chemical intermediate, not for direct human or animal ingestion in its pure form; undiluted intake can irritate the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, leading to coughing, nausea and abdominal discomfort.

In regulated applications, Butyl formate CAS 592-84-7 boosts the natural fruity sensory profile of food products, enhances the processing efficiency of industrial coatings and inks, and acts as a versatile raw material for synthesizing high-value polymer additives.
