Product Introduction

 

171

Industrial Solvent 2-Butanol is a four-carbon secondary alcohol with the molecular formula C₄H₁₀O and CAS number 78-92-2. At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor; it is miscible with most common organic solvents and has a water solubility of approximately 12.5 g/100 mL. It has a boiling point of 98°C, a density of 0.808 g/mL, and a flash point of approximately 27°C, classifying it as a flammable liquid.

 

Overview

 

 

Industrial Grade N-Butanol (Normal Butyl Alcohol, CAS No. 71-36-3) is a colorless, transparent primary alcohol with the chemical formula C₄H₁₀O. As an important industrial solvent and chemical intermediate, N-Butanol features excellent solvency, moderate volatility, low water solubility, and strong compatibility with many organic compounds.

Due to its balanced physical and chemical properties, N-Butanol is widely used in coatings, paints, printing inks, adhesives, plasticizers, cleaning agents, and chemical synthesis industries. Its hydroxyl functional group provides good polarity, enabling effective dissolution of resins, oils, dyes, and other organic materials while maintaining stable processing performance.

Qingdao Jinforest Chem Tech Co., Ltd. supplies high-quality Industrial Grade N-Butanol with strict quality control, professional chemical export experience, complete technical documentation, and reliable global logistics solutions. Our product is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers requiring stable solvent performance and long-term supply reliability.

 

Key Features and Advantages

 

1. Excellent Solvency for Industrial Formulations
One of the most important advantages of Industrial Grade N-Butanol is its excellent dissolving capability. The hydroxyl group in its molecular structure allows it to interact effectively with various chemical substances, including alkyd resins, acrylic resins, phenolic resins, oils, and organic additives.
For manufacturers, this outstanding solvency helps improve formulation efficiency and provides better control during production processes. In coating and ink applications, N-Butanol can support uniform ingredient dispersion, helping achieve stable product quality.
Compared with many highly volatile solvents, N-Butanol offers a better balance between dissolving ability and processing time, making it a preferred solvent choice for industrial applications.
2. Strong Compatibility with Resins and Organic Materials
A major reason why N-Butanol solvent is widely used in industrial applications is its excellent compatibility with different resin systems and organic materials.
It can be blended with other solvents and additives to adjust formulation properties, making it valuable in industries requiring flexible formulation design.
Typical compatible systems include:

  • Alkyd resin coatings;
  • Amino resin coatings;
  • Acrylic resin systems;
  • Printing inks;
  • Adhesive formulations;
  • Plasticizer production.

This compatibility gives manufacturers greater freedom to optimize product performance according to specific application requirements..

Applications

 
 
1. Production of Plasticizers and Ester Derivatives

The primary downstream application of industrial-grade n-butanol is the production of various important ester compounds. It is used to manufacture butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, and ethylene glycol butyl ethers, as well as n-butyl ester plasticizers derived from phthalic acid, aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, and phosphoric acid. These plasticizers are widely used in various plastic and rubber products, significantly enhancing the materials' flexibility and plasticity.

2. An Excellent Organic Solvent

N-butanol is a high-performance organic solvent that is miscible with most other organic solvents, such as ethanol and diethyl ether. It is extensively used in the production of coatings, paints, inks, adhesives, and synthetic fibers, capable of dissolving a wide range of substances including oils, waxes, resins, shellac, and varnishes. It is also indispensable in the production of urea-formaldehyde, cellulose, and alkyd resins, and serves as a solvent for organic dyes and printing inks, as well as a dewaxing agent.

3. Intermediate in Organic Synthesis

As a key chemical raw material, n-butanol serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is used to prepare various compounds-such as butyraldehyde, butyric acid, butylamine, and butyl lactate-and is utilized in the production of polymer materials including melamine resins, acrylic acid, and epoxy varnishes.
