Product Description of n-Butyl vinyl ether CAS#111-34-2

n-Butyl vinyl ether is an industrial-grade chemical supplied with a purity of ≥ 99%. It is a colorless, transparent liquid with a characteristic ether-like odor and is highly flammable. The compound has a low melting point of –92 °C and a boiling point of 94 °C, providing stable volatility for a wide range of processing conditions.

At 20 °C, n-butyl vinyl ether exhibits a vapor pressure of 5.6 kPa and a relative density of 0.776. It shows limited solubility in water (3 g/L at 20 °C) but is fully miscible with most organic solvents, offering excellent compatibility in formulations. The product is chemically stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care and kept away from strong oxidizing agents to ensure safe storage and use.
