What is N-propanol (CAS no. 71 23 8)?
N-propanol is a colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature with a slight, characteristic odor. It is miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, and can be mixed with water in any proportion. Its boiling point is approximately 97.2℃, its melting point is -126.5℃, and its density is 0.8035 g/cm³, making it lighter than water. This property allows it to be used as a solvent in industrial production and is also easy to mix with other liquids.
1-Propanol (n-Propanol) Applications
- Organic Synthesis: 1-Propanol is used to produce pharmaceutical intermediates and pesticide intermediates, making it widely employed in pharmaceutical and pesticide manufacturing.
- Industrial Applications: n-Propanol is employed in industries such as nitro spray paints, cosmetics, dental cleansers, insecticides, fungicides, inks, and plastics.
- Solvent: It serves as a solvent, chromatographic reagent, and chromatographic analyte.
- Fuel: n-Propanol can also be blended with alkanes and alkenes as a fuel mixture to increase combustion temperatures.
- Ethanol Substitute: 1-Propanol (n-Propanol) can replace ethanol with lower boiling points, such as serving as a solvent for certain synthetic resins, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, vegetable oils, natural rubber, and resins.
What are the storage conditions for N-propanol ?
The storage conditions for N-propanol (CAS No. 71 23 8) vary depending on its purity and intended use. The main storage conditions are as follows:
- Temperature and Environment: N-propanol should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight. For some specifications, a temperature range of +5°C to +30°C is recommended, and the warehouse temperature should not exceed 30°C.
- Sealing and Isolation: N-propanol (CAS No. 71 23 8) must be kept in sealed containers and kept away from sources of ignition and heat. Because its vapor can form an explosive mixture with air, explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are required.
- Incompatible Substances: It should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids, halogens, and food chemicals. Mixed storage is strictly prohibited. Packaging: Industrial grade N-propanol (CAS no. 71 23 8). TIANJIN GNEE BIOTECH CO., LTD. typically uses 160kg/drum or 165kg/drum containers, ensuring the packaging remains intact.
