Description

Butyl Potassium Sulfate is an organosulfate salt with the CAS registry number 18687-54-2. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and surfactant, valued for its unique combination of an organic butyl group and an inorganic sulfate moiety. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, agrochemical, and specialty surfactant industries for applications requiring phase-transfer catalysis or specific ionic characteristics.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Used in the production of more complex organic molecules, particularly where potassium counterions are beneficial.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reactants in immiscible phases in organic synthesis processes.
• Specialty Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions in formulations requiring specific anionic surfactant properties.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed as a dispersing or wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reagent in laboratory-scale investigations and process development.
• Electrolyte Component: Potential use in specialized electrochemical applications and battery research.

Quality Control

Our Butyl Potassium Sulfate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
