Chemical Structure
Basic Info
Butyl formate has the chemical formula C5H10O2. It is a liquid that has a fruity scent and is colorless. The boiling point of the liquid is relatively low, as well as its flash point. Ester compound is formed by esterification formic acid with n-butanol. Its molecular structure has an ester group -COO’, which connects butanol and formic acid. It has the typical ester properties, including hydrolysis and salt production, because it contains an ester group. It is a transparent liquid that has a fruity scent and has a low flash point. Butyl formate, due to its characteristics, is a liquid at room temperatures and is explosive and flammable.
Under certain conditions, the ester group in butyl formate is capable of hydrolysis to produce formic acid and N-butanol. Ester compounds have this property. Since butyl formate is explosive and flammable, it’s important to take special care when storing and using.

Product Packaging
1. Solvents
Butyl formate, a solvent that is highly effective in the paint, coating and ink industries, is widely used for these applications. It can dissolve resins, polymers and cellulose derivatives. This helps to improve the gloss and leveling of the coatings.
Butyl formate can be used to dissolve adhesive components, and modify the properties of adhesives.
Butyl formate is a good solvent and cleaner for industrial cleaning products. It can also be used to remove oil stains.
2. Flavors and flavors
Butyl formate is used in the formulation of food flavors, as well as daily chemical flavors. It can be used, for example, to simulate the smell of fruit such as bananas and apples.
3. Intermediates for pharmaceuticals
Butyl formate is a useful raw material in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of drug intermediates. It can be used, for example, to produce formic acid and other ester compounds by hydrolysis or transesterification. These compounds are used to make antibiotics, analgesics, or other drugs.
4. Organic Synthesis
Butyl formate can be used in esterification, reduction and condensation reactions. It can be used, for example, as a formylation reagent to introduce a -CHO group into a molecule.
You can also use it to synthesize other esters compounds such as butyl-acetate and butyl-propionate which are widely used by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
5. Food additives
Butyl formate has been approved for use as an additive in food (such as spices), to enhance flavor. It is used in low concentrations for a fruity smell.
6. Pesticides are insecticides
Butyl formate is used in the pesticide industry as a carrier or solvent to dissolve and disperse active ingredients. It can also be used in the synthesis process of some insecticides and herbicides.
7. Lab reagents
Butyl formamide is used in laboratories as a reaction medium or solvent, particularly in analytical and organic chemistry. Its low toxicities and high solubility makes it a popular reagent.
8. Other Applications
Butyl formate is used to clean and degrease leather.
Textile Processing: It can be used in the textile industry as a dye-solvent or auxiliary agent, to improve the dyeing process and help distribute the dye evenly.
