n-Butanol (1-Butanol) 99% / 99.5% CAS No. 71-36-3 Industrial & Pharmaceutical Grade

n-Butanol, available in 99% and 99.5% concentrations, is produced via advanced propylene hydroformylation (oxo process) followed by hydrogenation, or through biological fermentation . It features excellent solvency power, slow evaporation rate, and partial miscibility with water while being completely miscible with most organic solvents . As a key four-carbon primary alcohol, it is widely used in the production of butyl acrylates, butyl acetates, glycol ethers, and as a direct solvent in coatings and inks . Its high purity and consistent quality make it ideal for critical applications requiring precise solvent properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting industrial and pharmaceutical standards.

Scope of Application

• Used as a chemical intermediate for the production of butyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, and butyl glycol ethers, which are essential monomers for paints, coatings, and adhesives ;

• Acts as a precursor for butyl acetate production, a widely used solvent in lacquers, thinners, and nail polish removers ;

• Functions as a direct solvent in paints, coatings, varnishes, and printing inks, particularly for alkyd resins and urea-formaldehyde resins ;

• Widely applied in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), antibiotics, vitamins, and hormones ;

• Serves as a plasticizer intermediate for the production of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and tributyl phosphate ;

• Used in the textile industry as a swelling agent and processing aid for synthetic fibers ;

• Acts as an extractant and reaction medium in the production of antibiotics, hormones, and alkaloids ;

• Functions as a component in hydraulic fluids, brake fluids, and metal cleaning formulations ;

• Used in the cosmetics industry as a solvent in perfumes, nail care products, and personal care formulations ;

• Serves as a laboratory reagent for analytical chemistry and organic synthesis applications .
