1-Butylamine is used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, synthetic tanning agents, dyestuffs and emulsifiers. It also plays an important role in the preparation of N,N'-dibutylthiourea, a rubber vulcanization accelerator. It is involved in the preparation of n-butylbenzenesulfonamide, which is a plasticizer of nylon.
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.
