n-Butanol n-butanol

Application of n-Butanol

n-Butanolare one of the most widely used solvents that are produced as a colorless liquid. Alcohol is one of their most important compounds, which activates it for chemical reactions.
It is necessary to know that this product is considered a kind of light alcohol, which is also used in the fuel industry. These solvents are actually obtained from fossil fuels and are also known as propanol or methyl propane.
Compared to ethanol, propanols have the ability to dissolve with gasoline in different percentages, which makes it suitable for the production of airplane fuel, and even in the past, this material was used to produce fuel.
The unique characteristics of n-Butanols, such as fast reactivity, have made them used in the production of paints, varnishes and coatings; Because it gives a special gloss to the colors.
These solvents have a high dissolving power that mixes all the compounds in the colors well, and as a result, the final color obtained has a high covering power; Also, by reducing the viscosity of the paint, it increases its drying speed.

n-Butanol is used in the production of paints and coatings that do not change color after drying, which increases the glossiness of colors by reducing viscosity.
The use of this substance is common for the production of isobutyl acetates, and it is also a chemical additive in the automotive industry, which is known as a gasoline additive and is even used in the production of antifreeze.
It is used in the production of car paints and polishes for greater clarity, which even makes the car cover more scratch-resistant.
It is interesting to know that this organic compound is also used as a flavoring agent in the food industry, and one of the most important products obtained from them is paraxylene, which is used in the manufacture of all kinds of textiles, clothes and fabrics.
Currently, this product is produced in different petrochemical plants in the country, including Shazand Arak Petrochemical, and it is sold in bulk in large tankers and in 165 or 175 kg barrels.
This substance has a very high value in refineries compared to methanol; Because its energy is more and due to its very low solubility in water, it does not cause cracking in pipelines and the gasoline produced from this product has a good concentration.
