About N-Propanol

N-Propanol is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula C3H8O, supplied as a clear, colorless liquid with a mild alcoholic odor. It is miscible with water and commonly available at a purity level suitable for industrial applications, typically around 99%. This solvent is widely utilized in chemical manufacturing and industrial cleaning processes due to its effective solvency characteristics. Finstar supplies N-Propanol in bulk liquid form, well-sealed to prevent evaporation and contamination. Industrial buyers should be aware that N-Propanol is compatible with many organic solvents but should be handled carefully to avoid prolonged exposure to strong oxidizers, as it is flammable and volatile. Typical storage temperatures range between 5°C and 30°C to maintain product integrity.
