Name：Isobutyl Butyrate
Cas: 539-90-2
Purity: 99%
MOQ: 1KG
Isobutyl Butyrate is a compound that belongs to the ester group. Its chemical structure is C8H16O2, with a molecular composition of an isobutyl group, a butyric group, and an ester group. It appears transparent and colorless at room temperature. The aroma is similar to pear, banana, apple or other fruits. It is easily recognizable by this characteristic and can be used in many fields.
Isobutyl butyrate is a chemical compound that has a density slightly below that of water and a boiling point between 157-158degC. It is not soluble, but is soluble with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. As it is volatile, you should keep it away from heat and light. It will also prevent volatilization which can change the properties of the product or create safety hazards. It is relatively stable, but it can be hydrolyzed under conditions of high alkalinity or acidity. This produces carboxylic acids and alcohols.

Isobutyl butyrate is used for its “dual-core properties”. Its fresh, realistic aroma has made it a popular raw material in food and everyday chemical industries. Its stability and safety make it adaptable to a wide range of processing scenarios. The mild volatility of the chemical and its stability in industrial production are reliable for scientific research and industrial production. It is used in many aspects of daily life: from the snacks we eat to the products we use for washing and caring, to the inks and coatings used in industry and even the synthetic materials that are used in research.
Isobutyl butyrate application scenarios cover a variety of categories from liquid drinks to solid snacks: in fruit-flavored soda, bubble water and flavored fruit juice, a small amount of addition can give the drink a fresh and bright top note of fruit flavor, avoiding the monotony of simple sweet taste; in frozen foods such as ice cream and ice cream, the strong flavor stability at low temperatures is highlighted, and the aroma will not be lost due to the freezing process, allowing the product still release a rich flavor when in the mouth. It is used for a wide range of products, from drinks and snacks to frozen food.
Isobutyl butyrate volatility is between top note and middle note notes, which can be used as “aroma introducer” to quickly release fresh fruit fragrance, but also integrated with rose, jasmine, and other flower fragrance ingredients or cedar, sandalwood, and other woody scent ingredients, to balance the overall tone of the aroma. Isobutyl butyrate can be used in perfumes, colognes and other fragrances to release a fresh fruit scent. Isobutyl butyrate can also be combined with cedar, sandalwood, rose and other flowery fragrances to avoid a too sweet or dull fragrance.
Isobutyl butyrate is a unique organic solvent in the industrial world. It has a high targeted solubility, and it’s good for resins like acrylic resin, polyurethane, nitrocellulose etc. It is also a good disperser of pigments and can be used to dilute or co-solvent coatings and inks. Its volatility is lower than that of short-chain solvents like ethyl alcohol and acetone. This can prolong the drying times for coatings and inks. It also reduces surface defects, such as pinholes and orange peel, caused by rapid volatilization. It can improve ink adhesion and transferability, and enhance the glossiness and clarity of printed patterns. It is an important organic synthesis intermediate. Chemical products like ethylbutyrate, isobutanol and succinic acids can be produced through ester exchange, hydrogenation, oxidation, and other reactions. These chemical products are used to synthesize new materials, such as plasticizers and environmentally friendly solvents, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
