Description

Ammonium Isobutyrate is an organic ammonium salt derived from isobutyric acid, offering a versatile source of the isobutyrate anion. This compound is valued for its role as a chemical intermediate and its utility in various synthesis and formulation processes. It is commonly sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring a reactive ammonium salt or a specific counterion.

Application

• As a key chemical intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Utilized in the formulation of agrochemical products, such as herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in specific organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Serves as a buffering agent or pH adjuster in specialized industrial processes.
• Used in corrosion inhibitor formulations for metal treatment applications.
• Potential use as a precursor for the production of other isobutyrate derivatives and esters.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Isobutyrate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters, and our quality systems support compliance with relevant ISO and GMP guidelines where required. Specifications can be tailored to meet specific customer and application needs.

Storage

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