Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol / 4-Methyl-2-Pentanol ≧ 99% – High Purity Chemical for Industrial Applications

Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC), also known as 4-Methyl-2-Pentanol, is a high-purity organic chemical widely used in industrial, laboratory, and commercial applications. With a purity of ≧99%, this compound is valued for its effectiveness as a frothing agent in mineral flotation, as well as its role as a solvent, intermediate, and performance additive. At City Chemicals EU, we provide only certified, high-quality MIBC, ensuring consistency, safety, and performance across industries.

What is Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol?
MIBC is a colorless, stable liquid alcohol with a mild odor and excellent solvency properties. Its chemical formula is C6H14O, and it belongs to the family of branched-chain aliphatic alcohols. Because of its low volatility, balanced polarity, and high purity, MIBC is trusted worldwide for critical applications.

How It Works

Flotation Agent – MIBC plays a central role in froth flotation processes, especially in mining, where it enhances the separation of valuable minerals like copper, molybdenum, and zinc.
Solvent – Due to its chemical stability, it is used as a solvent in coatings, resins, and dyes.
Intermediate – It serves as a building block in the synthesis of plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricants.

Key Benefits

High Purity (≧99%) ensures reliability and performance.
Versatility – Used in mining, coatings, chemicals, and adhesives.
Consistency – Manufactured under strict quality control.
Global Availability – Trusted by industries worldwide for bulk supply.

Safety & Handling
While MIBC is a valuable industrial chemical, it should be handled responsibly:

Avoid inhalation of vapors and direct skin contact.
Use protective equipment in industrial or laboratory environments.
Store in a cool, ventilated area away from heat or flame sources.

Detailed safety data (SDS) is available on request.

Longevity & Shelf Life
MIBC has a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored in original, unopened containers under recommended conditions. Its chemical stability ensures long-lasting effectiveness in both small- and large-scale applications.
