Products Description
2‑Butanol (CAS 78‑92‑2) appears as a colorless, clear liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odour. It has a flash point below 0 °F, exhibits lower density than water, and produces vapours heavier than air, while being miscible with water. This chemical may trigger moderate eye and skin irritation; prolonged or repeated exposure can result in skin defatting and dryness. Its vapours may irritate nasal passages, throat and respiratory tract upon inhalation, and ingestion will create potential health risks.

Products Application
2‑Butanol covers extensive industrial usages. It acts as an essential raw material for the production of methyl ethyl ketone and sec‑butyl acetate, and functions as a solvent for lacquer and alkyd enamel formulations. This compound is an ingredient for hydraulic brake fluids and cleaning agents, and its xanthate derivatives find application in mineral ore flotation. Beyond that, 2‑butanol is used for material polishing and cleaning, and participates in manufacturing paint removers, fruit‑flavor additives, fragrances and dyestuffs.
Company Profile
Shandong Furuida Chemical Co., Ltd. began with a clear vision: to build a global chemical trading company that combines the agility of a start-up with the solid foundation of self-owned manufacturing. Today, we are exactly that—a global start-up chemical foreign trade enterprise, strategically based in Shandong's core chemical industrial zone.
Our journey has been built on integration. We own standardized factories, which allow us to seamlessly connect production, quality control, cross-border trade, and global logistics. This integrated model gives us not only independent production capacity but also the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing market demands.
What do we bring to the table? A wide range of products—basic chemical raw materials, fine intermediates, chemical additives, and rubber/plastic feedstocks—that power industries from rubber and coatings to daily chemicals, building materials, and textiles. And we go beyond products: we offer custom formulations and one-stop trade services, handling customs clearance, logistics, and after-sales support so our customers can focus on their core business.
Along the way, we have listened carefully to our customers' frustrations. Unpredictable supply. Hidden markups. Inconsistent quality. Slow shipping. Our response is a factory-direct model with transparent pricing, a full-process quality system that guarantees consistency, and a mature logistics network that speeds up delivery.
Today, our footprint spans Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. We are proud to serve chemical manufacturers, terminal processing plants, and cross-border traders with high-quality, cost-effective raw materials—and a partnership approach that puts their success at the heart of everything we do.
