A high-purity alcohol completely miscible with water
Among the many other products manufactured by Shell Chemical are Acetone, Mesityl Oxide, Allyl Alcohol, Methallyl Alcohol and Epichlorohydrin
Consider the advantage of using high-purity TBA in your formulations: AS A SOLVENT it is the most stable of all watermiscible alcohols toward oxidizing agents. It is miscible with most organic solvents such as ketones, alcohols, esters, ethers and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. TBA is used in compounding industrial cleaning preparations and as a d e n a t u r a n t for ethyl alcohol. Suggested applications include its use as an extraction and recrystallization solvent and in surface coatings where its high latent solvent power for cellulose acetate is an advantage. AS AN INTERMEDIATE it finds application as an alkylating agent for introducing the t e r t i a r y butyl group into a variety of compounds useful in the manufacture of resins, pharmaceuticals and perfumes. Manufacturers of dyestuffs, flavoring extracts, insecticides, germicides and fungicides should also find T e r t i a r y Butyl Alcohol a useful chemical r a w material. After evaluating this compound, you may find it a chemical suited to your most exacting requirements.
