Benzyltributylammonium bromide appears as a white crystalline powder or granules. When its purity is high, it takes the form of colorless crystals. It has a tendency to absorb moisture when exposed to air. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, toluene, and ethanol, and slightly soluble in water (with a solubility of approximately 1-5 g/L at 20℃). Its aqueous solution is weakly alkaline.
