Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)

Butylated Hydroxytoluene, also known as 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, Butylhydroxytoluene, and 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, has the chemical formula C₁₅H₂₄O or C₆H₂(OH)(CH₃)(C(CH₃)₃)₂ . It appears as white to pale-yellow, crystalline, or flaked solid with no odor or a characteristic faint aromatic odor. It is insoluble in Water but soluble in Methanol, Toluene, and Ether at ambient conditions. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are the two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity. In the United States of America (USA), Lab Alley is selling its high-quality Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Lab Grade online at laballey.com. Due to its high purity, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Lab Grade is highly recommended for labs and commercial applications.
