Definition
Plural of butyl; organic chemical groups derived from butane, used in making plastics, solvents, and other chemicals.
Etymology
Butyl comes from butane (a four-carbon alkane) plus the -yl suffix denoting a chemical radical or group. The 'but-' root refers to the four carbon atoms in the chain.
Kelly Says
Butyl groups are like building blocks that chemists use to construct everything from rubber to nail polish—they're in literally thousands of everyday products you touch without realizing it.
