Products Description of 1-Butanol CAS#71-36-3
n-Butyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable liquid with a strong alcoholic scent. It is highly refractive and burns with an intensely luminous flame. This substance is incompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, aluminum, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, copper, and copper alloys.
n-Butyl alcohol has a wide range of applications across numerous industries. It acts as a solvent in the production of paints, varnishes, synthetic resins, gums, pharmaceuticals, vegetable oils, dyes, and alkaloids. Additionally, it is utilized in manufacturing artificial leather, rubber, plastic cements, shellac, raincoats, perfumes, and photographic films.

Product Application of 1-Butanol CAS#71-36-3
1-Butanol serves multiple purposes: it is used to produce butyl acetate, butyl glycol ether, and plasticizers like dibutyl phthalate; acts as a solvent in the coating industry; functions as a solvent for extracting oils, drugs, and cosmetic nail products; and is an ingredient in perfumes and flavors.
Naturally, 1-butanol is found in fusel oil and is a by-product of the fermentation process for alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. It also exists in beef fat, chicken broth, and unfiltered cigarette smoke.
