| Features and Benefits: | • ASTM D6866 - Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content • Renewable Carbon Content – ≥99.9% • Made from Renewable Resource (whisky production residues and reject potatoes) • Replacement for Petroleum-based 1-Butanol |
| General description: | We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is 100% biorenewable and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here  for more information.This ACS grade 1-Butanol is a drop-in replacement for traditional 1-Butanol applications. Made from 100% renewable carbon (verified through C14 ASTM D6866-16 testing) and produced in an environmentally-friendly way which reduces the carbon footprint of production and reduces reliance on fossil-fuels. It is also free from many contaminants that are present in petroleum derived 1-Butanol, such as isobutanol and aldehydes. |
