Sodium Butyrate (CAS 156-54-7, C4H7NaO2, MW 110.09), also known as sodium butanoate or butyric acid sodium salt, is the sodium salt of butyric acid. It is a white or off-white, hygroscopic powder with a characteristic rancid-butter- and cheese-like odor, and it melts with decomposition at approximately 250–253 °C. The product is readily soluble in water and remains stable under normal storage conditions.
As a versatile fine chemical, sodium butyrate is widely applied as a functional feed additive in animal nutrition, as a flavoring ingredient in the food industry, and as a raw material in pharmaceutical, biotechnological and organic synthesis applications. Leafchem supplies sodium butyrate in three standard grades — 30%, 50% and 98% — with a minimum order quantity of 500 kg, allowing customers to select the most cost-effective grade for their specific end use.

Core Advantages

  • Readily soluble in water, which simplifies dosing and blending in aqueous formulations and liquid premixes.
  • Hygroscopic; therefore the product must be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment during storage and transport.
  • Stable under normal storage conditions; incompatible with strong acids.
  • White or off-white powder with a consistent appearance and the characteristic butyric odor of short-chain fatty acid salts.
  • Offered in 30%, 50% and 98% grades with batch-to-batch quality consistency and full documentation support.

Key Application Fields

  • Animal feed and nutrition: as a functional feed additive to support intestinal health, improve feed intake and promote growth performance in swine, poultry and other livestock; butyrate is a preferred energy source for intestinal epithelial cells.
  • Food industry: used as a flavoring ingredient to impart a buttery, cheesy note in selected food applications.
  • Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology: sodium butyrate acts as a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and is widely used in cell culture, biological research and pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis.
  • Chemical industry: serves as a raw material or intermediate for the synthesis of butyrate esters and other fine chemicals.

FAQ :

1. Q: What is Sodium Butyrate?

A: Sodium butyrate (CAS 156-54-7) is the sodium salt of butyric acid. It is a white or off-white, hygroscopic powder with a characteristic rancid-butter/cheese-like odor, and it is readily soluble in water. It is used across feed, food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications.

2. Q: What are the differences between the 30%, 50% and 98% grades?

A: The three grades differ in sodium butyrate content. The 30% and 50% grades are commonly used in animal feed where a lower active concentration is preferred for cost-efficient dosing, while the 98% grade is the high-purity form suited to food, pharmaceutical and research applications. Please contact our sales team for grade-specific specifications.

3. Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: The MOQ is 500 kg for all three grades (30%, 50% and 98%).

4. Q: What is the packaging for Sodium Butyrate?

A: Standard packaging is 25 kg/bag on pallets for sea freight. Jumbo bags (500 kg/1000 kg) and customized packaging are available on request.

5. Q: What are the storage requirements?

A: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place with the container tightly sealed, as the product is hygroscopic. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, strong acids and oxidizing agents. Under these conditions the shelf life is 24 months.

6. Q: Is Sodium Butyrate soluble in water?

A: Yes. Sodium butyrate is readily soluble in water, which facilitates easy dosing and blending in aqueous formulations and liquid premixes.

7. Q: Do you provide COA and MSDS?

A: Yes. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) are provided promptly with every shipment, and third-party inspection can be arranged on request.

8. Q: What are the lead time and payment terms?

A: The standard lead time is 2–3 weeks after order confirmation. For payment terms and a detailed quotation, please contact us by email or WhatsApp.
