Product overview
1-Propanol, also known as n-propanol or propyl alcohol, is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2OH. It is a colorless liquid that is miscible with water and most organic solvents. As a higher homolog of ethanol, it shares many solvent properties but has a higher boiling point and slower evaporation rate, making it useful for applications requiring longer drying time.
Key features
- Completely miscible with water and organic solvents
- Higher boiling point than ethanol and isopropanol
- Good solvent for resins, oils, and cellulose esters
- Slower evaporation rate for better flow and leveling
- Lower volatility reduces flammability risks
- Can act as both solvent and chemical intermediate
- Compatible with many coating formulations
- Good solvency for various polymers.
Applications
- Printing inks
- solvent for flexographic and gravure inks
