Description
Acetic acid n-butyl ester (n-butyl acetate) is a ROTICHROM® GC reference-grade ester supplied for gas-chromatographic work and related analytical applications. With CAS number 123-86-4 and empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₂, it has a molar mass of 116,16 g/mol and a density of 0,881 g/cm³. The boiling point is 126,2 °C and the flash point is 27 °C, supporting controlled handling in the laboratory. This preparation is offered in a 5 ml glass pack, suited to calibration, method development, and comparative GC analyses where a defined ester standard is required. Physical data and identity parameters align with the manufacturer description from Carl ROTH, including EG number 204-658-1. Laboratories use acetic acid n-butyl ester as a volatile organic ester standard in solvent and fragrance-related workflows, residual-solvent checks, and teaching or routine GC setups. The compact glass unit supports economical use of reference material while maintaining clear chemical identity for documentation and traceability in analytical protocols.

Questions about Acetic acid n-butyl ester, ROTICHROM® GC , 5 ml, glass
What is this article?
Acetic acid n-butyl ester, ROTICHROM® GC , 5 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
