Isobutanol is an organic compound with the chemical formula c4h10o. It is a flammable, irritating, colorless and transparent liquid with a special smell. It is easily soluble in ethanol and ether. Its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, which will cause combustion and explosion in case of open fire and high heat. When heated, it will decompose and release toxic gases. It can react strongly with oxidants. In a fire, heated containers may explode.

Isobutanol is colorless liquid which is used for production of ethers used as plasticizing agents in production of cable insulation and car finishing materials. Colourless, transparent liquid with characteristic odour.

Isobutanol is widely used in technology and industry.

1. 1.Isobutanol is used as a cosolvent of cellulose nitrate and solvent of ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, a variety of oils, rubber, natural resin.
2. 2.Isobutanol is mainly used as raw material in the production of diisobutyl phthalate which is used as plasticiser and isobutyl acetate which is used in the manufacture of lacquer and similar coatings, in the food industry as a flavouring agent and as diluent of adhesive. There is a small part for the production of isobutyl butyrate, isobutyl lactate, etc.
3. 3.Isobutanol is used as reagent in the determination of calcium, strontium, barium, sodium, potassium, lithium, silver, chlorine and phosphite. It is also used as chemical extractant in production of organic compounds, as mobile phase in thin layer chromatography.
4. 4.In addition, isobutanol is used as paint solvent, varnish remover and ink ingredient.
