Crotonaldehyde Manufacturer/Distributor in Bihar: Check the Rules First
Most chemical pages start with the product. For Bihar, the rules matter more, so we start there.
Bihar has had a liquor prohibition law since 2016, and spirit and ethanol are tightly controlled. Crotonaldehyde is widely used to denature ethanol, so anyone buying it for spirit-related work should follow the state’s prohibition and excise rules. Rules and licence conditions change, so confirm the current position with the authorities before you place an order.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Spirit and ethanol use | Follow the Bihar prohibition and excise rules. Check with the Bihar Prohibition, Excise and Registration Department |
| Storage | Large quantities of flammable liquids may need approval from PESO |
| Environment | Check your site’s consent with the Bihar State Pollution Control Board |
| Site readiness | A covered, ventilated store, earthing for transfers and trained staff |
| Paperwork | Keep the MSDS and batch details at the point of use |
We can’t tell you which approvals your site needs, because that depends on your activity and quantity. Please check with your compliance adviser or the relevant authority. We supply crotonaldehyde to industrial buyers for lawful industrial use only.
What Is Crotonaldehyde?
Crotonaldehyde (also called 2-butenal) has the formula C₄H₆O and a molar mass of 70.09 g/mol. It is a pale-yellow liquid with a sharp smell that irritates the eyes and nose. It mixes with alcohol and most organic solvents.
It has two reactive spots, a carbon double bond and an aldehyde group. That makes it a useful starting material for other chemicals. It is flammable, with a flash point around 13 °C, so it can ignite at ordinary room temperature. It is also toxic and irritating.

Manufacturer or Distributor: Does It Matter to You?
Buyers often ask whether they are dealing with a manufacturer or a distributor. For you, three things matter more than the label:
- Can the supplier tell you the grade and show the paperwork? MSDS and batch details should come with every drum, and a COA should be available when you ask.
- Will they match the grade to your use? A supplier who asks what you are making is more useful than one who just quotes.
- Will they be there after the first order? Regular buyers need steady supply and someone to call.
Whichever you prefer, you can reach us directly through our Contact page. If you want to confirm details about how we supply, ask us when you enquire.

- Quantity: number of drums, one-time or monthly
- Use: denaturing, synthesis or resale
- Delivery town in Bihar
- Your business name and contact details
- Whether your site can receive and store a flammable, toxic liquid
Because crotonaldehyde is hazardous, we may ask for your business details and intended use before we confirm an order.
When the Drums Arrive
- Check that drums are sealed, undamaged and labelled with the product name and hazard marks.
- Confirm that the grade on the label matches your order.
- Make sure the MSDS and batch details are with the consignment.

If anything looks wrong, call us before you open or use the material.
Safe Handling and Storage
Crotonaldehyde is flammable, toxic if inhaled or absorbed, and a strong irritant to eyes, skin and lungs.
- Store drums tightly closed, in a cool, ventilated area away from heat, sparks, oxidisers, acids and bases.
- Earth and bond containers during transfer and use non-sparking tools.
- Avoid breathing vapour. Use local exhaust or a closed system where possible.
- Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles and suitable respiratory protection.
- Keep a spill kit nearby, and never wash large spills into drains.
- Read the MSDS before anyone handles it, and train everyone who will.
