What is propanol alcohol (CAS 71-23-8)?

Propanol (or n-Propanol or Propyl Alcohol) is one of our strongest products. Propanol alcohol is a class of aliphatic alcohols with the molecular formula C₃H₈O. It consists of a three-carbon alkyl chain attached to a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which is the core structure that determines its polar protic properties.

 

Propanol alcohol (CAS 71-23-8) is used primarily as a solvent in the printing industry, lacquer formulations, soaps, dyes, and inks. We offer Propanol to our customers, in bulk, intermediate bulk containers, drums, and pails.

What is Propanol alcohol (CAS 71-23-8) used for?

Propanol alcohol/Propanol serves multiple industries because of its solvent strength, chemical reactivity, and blending ability with both water and organic compounds. Each sector applies these attributes in different ways.

Industrial Applications

Industrially, Propanol alcohol is essential as a solvent in coatings, resins, adhesives, and inks. Its ability to dissolve a broad range of compounds makes it integral to large-scale processes. It also functions as an intermediate in organic synthesis, linking raw chemicals to final products in manufacturing chains.

Scientific & Laboratory Uses

In laboratories, n-propanol is frequently employed for extractions and purifications. It provides consistent solvent behavior, which is critical for reproducible experiments. It also serves as a reagent in organic synthesis reactions, contributing to research and development across chemistry disciplines.

Consumer & Household Uses

Although not as common as isopropanol in everyday products, N-Propyl Alcohol appears in certain household and commercial goods. It is sometimes included in cleaning solutions, degreasers, and printing inks, where solvent efficiency is important for performance.
