n-Propanol (1-Propanol) 99.5% / 99.9% CAS No. 71-23-8 Pharmaceutical & Industrial Grade

n-Propanol, available in 99.5% and 99.9% concentrations, is produced via advanced hydroformylation (oxo process) technology from ethylene and synthesis gas . It features excellent solvency power, controlled evaporation rate, and complete miscibility with water and most organic solvents . As a primary alcohol with a balanced three-carbon chain, it serves as an ideal solvent for flexographic printing inks, coatings, and pharmaceutical applications where intermediate volatility is required . Its high purity and consistent quality make it suitable for critical applications requiring precise solvent properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting pharmaceutical and industrial standards .

Scope of Application

• Used as a solvent in flexographic and gravure printing inks, particularly for polyamide-based inks used in plastic film printing ;

• Acts as a solvent in coating formulations including alkyd resins, electrodeposition paints, and baking finishes to enhance drying characteristics ;

• Functions as an entrainer in azeotropic distillation processes for separating close-boiling mixtures ;

• Widely applied in cosmetics and personal care products including skin and hair preparations, soaps, and window cleaners ;

• Serves as a pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of propyl esters, propylamines, and propyl halides through reactions with acids, ammonia, and halogens ;

• Used in cleaners, floor polishes, and metal degreasing fluids as an active solvent component ;

• Acts as a precursor to prepare propyl acetate and other propyl esters for fragrance and flavor applications ;

• Functions as an antiseptic and solvent in rubbing alcohol formulations and pharmaceutical preparations ;

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