It finds it application in flavorings, resin chemistry, and rubber accelerators. Valeraldehyde is used as a gaseous standard in the study of the sorptive loss pattern for volatile compounds. Valeraldehyde is used as an intermediate in industrial settings in the production of valeric acid and amyl alcohol.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
