Application
1-Propanol is used as a solvent and entrainer in azeotropic distillation. Used as a precursor, it reacts with acetic acid, ammonia and halogen to prepare propyl acetate, propionamide and alkyl halides respectively. It is actively used as a solvent in flexographic printing inks. It is added to cleaners, floor polishes, and metal degreasing fluids, and is used as an additional solvent in adhesive manufacturing. It enhances the drying characteristics of alkyds, electrocoats and baking varnishes in the coatings industry.
Spectrophotometric grade 1-Propanol is used in spectrophotometry and environmental testing.
