About Butanol

Butanol, or butan-1-ol, is a primary alcohol with a 4-carbon structure, represented by the chemical formula C4H10O. Its CAS registry number is 71-36-3. This versatile compound is widely used as a solvent in a variety of chemical processes, and as a raw material in the manufacture of other chemicals.

Product Description

Our butanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It has an optimal balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it a highly versatile solvent in diverse applications.

Usage and Application

Butanol, also known as n-butanol or normal butanol, is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula C4H9OH. It is a versatile solvent with a variety of applications across numerous sectors due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Let’s delve into some of its applications in different sectors:

1. Chemical Industry: Butanol is used as a crucial raw material and solvent in the manufacture of various chemicals. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, and other butyl esters.
2. Pharmaceuticals: It is used as a solvent during the production of pharmaceuticals and as an extraction solvent. Additionally, it acts as a swelling agent in the production of capsules and tablets.
3. Cosmetics and Personal Care: In this sector, butanol is used in the production of creams, lotions, and other cosmetics due to its solvent properties. It is also used in fragrances for its ability to effectively dissolve essential oils and other aromatic compounds.
4. Textiles: Butanol is used in the textile industry as a swelling agent and solvent. It aids in the dyeing process and in textile coatings.
5. Paints and Coatings: Butanol plays a crucial role in the formulation of paints, lacquers, varnishes, and finishes. It serves as a solvent, which improves the flow and gloss of these products.
