What is propanol (n-propanol) ?

Propanol (also known as 1-propanol, n-propanol alcohol, propan-1-ol, propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol in which the OH entity is bonded to a primary carbon atom. N-propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) is one of two isomers of propanol (C3H8O); the other is 2-propanol ((CH3)2CHOH). It is a clear, colourless transparent liquid that has a typical sharp musty odour that is comparable with the smell of rubbing alcohol.

Is propanol (n-propanol) a good solvent?

Yes, propanol CAS No 71-23-8 is an excellent and versatile solvent.

 

propanol solvent uses:

  • Coatings & Inks: As a solvent for resins and dyes.
  • Cleaning Products: For removing oils and greases.
  • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: As a carrier or extraction solvent.
  • Chemical Manufacturing: As a reaction medium.

 

Advantages of  n-propanol solvent

 

Dual Solubility
Its polar hydroxyl group dissolves polar substances like cellulose derivatives and inorganic salts. The non-polar alkyl chain handles non-polar materials such as oils, waxes, and organic resins. This amphiphilic trait makes it perfect for multi-component products like coatings and inks.

 

Balanced Volatility
With a moderate boiling point of 97.2 °C, it evaporates at a steady pace. It avoids quick drying (which causes cracks and other surface flaws) and fully evaporates without leaving residue-ideal for coating and cleaning work.

 

Low Toxicity
Compared to solvents like benzene and toluene, it has much lower acute toxicity. It's safer for factory workers and more eco-friendly when used correctly.

 

Global Regulatory Compliance
It meets strict standards including REACH, FDA, and EPA requirements. This makes it suitable for use in highly regulated fields like food-contact materials and pharmaceuticals.
