Sec-Butanol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Butanol
- Secondary Butyl Alcohol
- Butan-2-Ol
Sec-butanol supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover the secondary C4 alcohol also known as 2-butanol or butan-2-ol. It is a clear liquid used as an industrial solvent, process fluid and intermediate where the specific secondary-alcohol structure is required.
Commercial requirements may call for industrial solvent grade, high-purity material for synthesis or a low-water grade for moisture-sensitive work. Assay, water, colour, acidity, distillation profile and related alcohols should be stated where they affect the process.
Applications include coatings, inks, resins, adhesives, industrial cleaning and specialty chemical manufacture. Sec-butanol is distinct from n-butanol, isobutanol and tert-butanol, so a general butanol description is not enough for procurement.
Send the required grade, purity, moisture limit, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Sec-Butanol grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial sec-butanol | clear liquid | — | Solvent and process fluid for coatings, cleaners and general chemical manufacturing where a technical-grade secondary alcohol is specified. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity sec-butanol | clear low-colour liquid | — | Chemical synthesis and controlled formulation work requiring tighter assay, colour and related-compound limits. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |
| Low-water sec-butanol | clear liquid with controlled moisture | — | Moisture-sensitive processing, resin work and intermediate manufacture where water content is part of the purchase specification. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about sec-butanol
Is sec-butanol the same as 2-butanol?
Yes. Sec-butanol, 2-butanol and butan-2-ol are names for the same secondary C4 alcohol. A quotation may use any of these names, but the assay, water content and intended solvent or synthesis grade should still be stated.
Is sec-butanol the same as n-butanol or isobutanol?
No. Sec-butanol, n-butanol and isobutanol are different structural isomers with separate physical and processing properties. State 2-butanol or sec-butanol clearly when that is the required solvent.
Which sec-butanol grade should I request?
Industrial solvent grade suits general formulation and cleaning duties, high-purity material suits synthesis, and low-water grade supports moisture-sensitive processes. Provide the limits from the process sheet.
What specifications matter for sec-butanol?
Buyers commonly define assay, water, colour, acidity, distillation profile and related alcohols. The intended solvent or intermediate use determines how tight those controls need to be.
How do I request a sec-butanol quotation in Malaysia?
Send the exact grade, purity and water requirements, application, quantity, delivery location and required documents. Packing and delivery details are confirmed with the quotation.
