General Description
N-Propanol, also known as 1-Propanol, is a clear, colorless alcohol widely used as a solvent, chemical intermediate, and processing aid across pharmaceutical, personal care, coatings, and industrial applications. It has a sharp, alcohol-like odor and offers a balanced evaporation rate that supports controlled drying and efficient formulation behavior.
The product is valued for its strong solvency, complete miscibility with water and organic solvents, and predictable performance in both polar and non-polar systems. N-Propanol is commonly selected where fast wetting, effective cleaning, and consistent reaction conditions are required.
