n-Butanol, also known as Normal Butanol, is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It is a primary alcohol commonly used as a solvent, intermediate, and chemical feedstock in various industrial applications. n-Butanol is typically produced through the catalytic hydrogenation of butyraldehyde or the fermentation of sugars by yeast. It is valued for its solvency power, low volatility, and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. n-Butanol finds extensive use as a solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, and inks, where it aids in the dispersion of resins, pigments, and additives. It is also utilized as a raw material in the production of plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, and flavors. Additionally, n-Butanol serves as a fuel additive, extracting agent, and chemical intermediate in various chemical processes. However, it should be handled with care as prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. n-Butanol is classified as a hazardous chemical, and proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, should be observed when working with this compound.
