Product Description
1-Propanol (n-Propanol) is a high-purity aliphatic alcohol and versatile industrial solvent, appearing as a colorless transparent liquid with a mild alcoholic odor.
It is fully miscible with water, ethanol, ether and most organic solvents, offering excellent solvency and stable chemical reactivity.
With low volatility and good cleaning properties, it is widely recognized as an efficient raw material for coatings, printing inks, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and chemical synthesis, meeting strict industrial standards for purity and consistency.
In industrial applications, n-propanol serves as a key solvent in coatings and printing inks, improving flowability and leveling effects while ensuring fast drying.
It is also used in cleaning agents and degreasers for precision instruments, electronic components and metal surfaces, effectively removing oils and contaminants without damaging substrates.
In chemical synthesis, it acts as an intermediate for producing esters, amines and other organic compounds, while in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, it functions as a solvent and preservative in creams, lotions and oral care products.
For usage, it is typically added directly to formulations at 5–30% in solvent applications, and controlled by molar ratio in chemical synthesis.
It must be stored in cool, ventilated areas away from heat, sparks and oxidizing agents to ensure safety during transport and storage.
