Uses of Butyl lactate:
Butyl lactate is used in the preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles by a solvent emulsification–diffusion technique, in the synthesis of nanoparticles of griseofulvin from water dilutable microemulsions by the solvent diffusion technique.
n-Butyl lactate is an industrial chemical and food additive.
In an industrial context, n-butyl lactate is used as a solvent and as a chemical feedstock.
n-Butyl lactate is used as a dairy-related flavoring agent.
n-Butyl lactate is metabolized to lactic acid, which is in turn metabolized to n-butanol, n-butyraldehyde, and n-butyric acid.
Butyl lactate is a lactic acid ester that is colorless and clear with a characteristic odor.
Butyl lactate mixes with hydrocarbons, oils, gasoline, and other solvents.
Butyl lactate has very little solubility with water, which is different from ethyl lactate and methyl lactate.
Butyl lactate has a high boiling point and high KB value with low volatility, and so has applicability as a special grease solvent.
Butyl lactate is a colorless, stable, low volatility liquid.
Butyl lactate is used as a solvent for paints, lacquers, varnishes, oils, dyes, inks, and synthetic resins.
Butyl lactate is usually blended with other solvents to slow evaporation and increase drying times.
Butyl lactate is used in:
-Solvent for nitrocellulose
-ethyl cellulose
-oils
-dyes
-natural gums
-many synthetic polymers
-lacquers
-varnishes
-inks
-stencil pastes
-antiskinning agent

-solvent for adhesives
-composition of pesticide
-composition of agricultural chemicals
-washing agents of various material
-solvent for photoresist
-spalling agent of resist
-soil conditioner
-solvent for pigment
Butyl lactate, also known as butyl lactic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters.
These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group).
Butyl lactate is a creamy, fermented, and fruity tasting compound.
Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Butyl lactate.
Butyl lactate has been used in the preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles by a solvent emulsification–diffusion technique.
Butyl lactate has been used in the synthesis of nanoparticles of griseofulvin from water dilutable microemulsions by the solvent diffusion technique.
Butyl lactate has been used as cosurfactant on the preparation of microemulsions with anionic surfactant.
Butyl lactates scent is characteristic and Butyl lactate is partially mixable with water and most organic solvents.
N-Butyl lactate is typically encountered as a solvent for processing cellulose derivatives, natural gums, oils, dyes, paints and polymers.
Butyl lactate is a kind of lactate derived ester.
As a kind of alpha-hydroxy acid ester, Butyl lactates applications in cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical formulations have significantly increased due to their hygroscopic, emulsifying and exfoliating properties.
Butyl lactate is used as a food additive because of its flavoring effect.
In industry, Butyl lactate can be used as solvent and chemical feedstock.
As a bio-based solvent, Butyl lactate can be used as extractant for removing 1-butanol from the aqueous fermentation broths.
Butyl lactate can be generally manufactured through the action of lipase from various origins.
Butyl lactate is an ester.
Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids.
