Butan‑1‑ol (Pure) – 2.5L (LR Grade)

Butan‑1‑ol, also known as n‑Butanol or 1‑Butyl Alcohol, is a high‑purity organic solvent supplied in a 2.5‑litre container for controlled use within educational science laboratories. Manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade, it provides consistent quality and dependable performance for teaching, demonstrations, and supervised practical work.

Identified by CAS No. 71‑36‑3 and UN Number 1120, butan‑1‑ol is a colourless liquid with a characteristic alcohol odour. It is widely referenced in secondary and post‑16 chemistry curricula when studying alcohols, organic functional groups, and physical properties such as solubility and boiling point. Clear labelling supports safe storage and handling in accordance with COSHH and school laboratory safety procedures.
