Market Overview

The global Liquid Sodium N-Butanol market is projected to grow from US$ 102 million in 2025 to US$ 141 million in 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% from 2026 to 2032.

Product Definition and Characteristics

Liquid n-butanol sodium is delivered as a solution of n-butanol sodium, typically dissolved in anhydrous n-butanol to create a homogeneous solution of specific concentration.

• Commercial Specifications: Common mass fractions range from approximately 19% to 20%, which can also be expressed via molar concentration.
• Chemical Properties: It is classified as a strongly alkaline organic alkoxide solution. It is highly hygroscopic and reacts rapidly with water and acid. Additionally, it can react with carbon dioxide to produce carbonate impurities.
• Handling and Storage: Due to its reactivity, storage and usage require sealing, moisture-proof measures, and protection under inert gas.
• Advantages of Solution Form: Compared to its solid form, the solution form allows for easier metering and continuous feeding, which reduces the risks associated with dust and local heat release.
• Disadvantages of Solution Form: The solution form involves higher transportation and storage costs, as well as stricter requirements for moisture control and compliance with hazardous chemical regulations.
