About Isovaleraldehyde

Isovaleraldehyde is a specialty chemical in Industrial grade carrying the CAS registry number 590-86-3, specified at ≥98% purity. The compound has the formula C5H10O, corresponding to a molecular weight of 86.13 g/mol. Systematically, it is named 3-methylbutanal. It is also known as 3-Methylbutyraldehyde or Isovaleral.

It is supplied as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

It is commonly used for chemical manufacturing, industrial formulations, process chemistry and pharmaceutical synthesis. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing, polymers and plastics and food and beverage processing.

Standard pack sizes are 25 kg, 50 kg, 200 kg drum and 1 MT, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
