N-BUTANOL is a clear, mobile, neutral liquid with a characteristic odor. It is miscible with all common solvents, e.g., alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and aromatic and aliphatic hydro carbons, but is only sparingly soluble in water.
Normal butanol (NB), also known as n-butanol or n-butyl alcohol, is a type of alcohol compound with four carbon atoms in its molecular structure. It is classified as a primary alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the terminal carbon atom. There are four isomers of butanol, each with a slightly different arrangement of the carbon and hydrogen atoms, resulting in different physical and chemical properties
Chemical Intermediates: It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as plasticizers, resins, and solvents.
Solvents: n-Butanol is used as a solvent in various industries, including paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.
Textile Industry: It is used in the textile industry for dyeing and finishing processes.
Pharmaceuticals: n-Butanol can be used in the extraction and purification of pharmaceutical compounds
Herbicides and Pesticides: It can be a component in the formulation of some herbicides and pesticides.
Flavors and Fragrances: n-Butanol is sometimes used in the production of flavors and fragrances.
