n-Butanol (Industrial Grade)
CAS Number: 71-36-3
Industrial-grade n-butanol (n-BuOH, ≥99.5%) is a medium-boiling primary alcohol widely used as a solvent in alkyd, acrylic, and epoxy coating systems. It acts as a coupling solvent to improve film flow and leveling, and is a key raw material for butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, and glycol ether production.
