Propanol is an important organic chemical raw material, widely used in medicine, pesticides, spices, cosmetics, plastics and solvents and other fields. This article will detail the properties and uses of propanol.

1. the nature of propanol

propanol is a colorless, transparent, pungent odor liquid, with strong hydrophilic, can be miscible with water in any proportion. Propanol has a boiling point of 97.2 ℃, a density of 0.8037 g/cm and a flash point of 12.8 ℃. It is flammable and belongs to low toxicity chemicals.

propanol has high chemical stability and is not easily corroded by acids, alkalis and other chemicals, but it is prone to dehydration reaction under high temperature and acidic conditions to generate acrolein and other compounds. In addition, propanol also has good oxidation resistance and UV resistance, which can be used to produce sunscreen cosmetics.

2. Propanol Uses

1. Solvent
Propanol is an excellent solvent that can dissolve many organic compounds, resins and fats. Therefore, propanol is widely used in the fields of coatings, inks, adhesives, plastics and rubber.

2. Chemical raw materials
Propanol can be used as a chemical raw material for the production of many important organic compounds, such as acetone, propionaldehyde, propionic acid, acrylate, etc. These compounds are widely used in the fields of medicine, pesticide, fragrance and plastic.

3. cleaning agent
propanol has good cleaning performance, can be used to clean metal, glass and plastic surface oil and stains.

4. cosmetic
propanol has good oxidation resistance and UV resistance, and can be used to produce sunscreen cosmetics. In addition, propanol can also be used in the production of hair care products and perfumes.

In conclusion, as an important organic chemical raw material, propanol has broad application prospects. In the future development, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, the use of propanol will be more extensive.
