| Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Appearance/Description: | White or yellowish / slightly yellow or slightly pinkish waxy solid or crystalline powder, having a faint, characteristic odor. |
| Solubility: | Freely soluble in alcohol, in propylene glycol, in chloroform and in ether, and in fatty oils. Practically insoluble in water. very soluble in methylene chloride. It dissolves in dilute solutions of alkali hydroxides. |
| Identification (By IR): | All peak positions determined for butylated hydroxyanisole are within 5cm-1 of those determined for 3-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole standard. |
| Identification (By Chromatography): | The retention time of the main peak of the sample solution corresponds to that of the standard solution. The chromatographic profile of the sample solution similar to that of the standard solution and exhibit only 1 major peak corresponding to BHA. |
| Identification (By TLC): | The principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with test solution (b) is similar in position, color and size to the principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (a). |
