Product Introduction
Butyric acid, also known as butanoic acid, is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid. Under normal temperature and pressure, butyric acid is a rancid, acidic, oily liquid that is miscible with water, ethanol, and ether. It is primarily used as a food flavoring agent, enhancing the aroma of butter and fruit essences. Additionally, it serves as an extraction solvent, decalcifying agent, and is used in the production of butyrate esters.

Product Applications
Butyric acid is an important raw material in the synthesis of flavors and other fine chemicals, mainly used in the production of butyrate esters and cellulose butyrate. Butyrate esters exhibit various fruity aromas and are widely applied in fragrances, food additives, and pharmaceuticals.

Cellulose butyrate esters possess outstanding heat resistance, light stability, and moisture resistance, along with excellent molding and stability, making them ideal for coatings and molded plastics.
