Propyl alcohol has a wide range of applications. It is an excellent solvent for alkaloids, many essential oils, some synthetic resins, etc.
Propyl alcohol is used in printing, oil, chemical, medical, food, furniture, perfume and wood chemical industries.
In printing, isopropanol is used in printedprocesses for moistening. Propyl alcohol is the main raw material for the production of acetone, isopropyl ethanoate, and other esters. Modern plastics production also can not do without the use of isopropanol.
Propyl alcohol is used for washingpolypropylene. Paint and varnish industry this substance uses ethyl, acetyl and nitrocellulose as an auxiliary solvent. Isopropanol is one of the most important auxiliary solvents in the production of nitro-lacquers. This substance finds application in the transport of nitrocellulose.
Isopropyl alcohol can be bought in almosteach specialized store. You can buy it in the company that sells chemicals. Isopropyl alcohol is an excellent antiseptic. Its disinfecting properties are much higher than in ethanol. Due to its unique properties, isopropanol is used:
- in the manufacture of cosmetics and perfumes;
- in the manufacture of resins, essences, medical extractants;
- as an antiseptic;
- as a solvent during recrystallization and as a preservative;
- in the wood chemical industry for the extraction of resins from wood;
- in the furniture industry as a solvent for a variety of adhesives and oils;
- in the chemical industry for denaturing ethanol during the preparation of the brake fluid;
- in aviation it is used as a stabilizer of anti-icing and aviation gasoline;
- as a windshield washer fluid.
To date, the need for isopropanolis rapidly increasing, which is due to the use of this substance as a component of motor fuel to increase its octane number. With the use of this alcohol, the performance of motor gasolines is improved (detonation resistance is increased, the emission of toxic substances - CH, CO) is reduced. Most of the chemical enterprises in our country are "armed" with modern technologies and innovative equipment, which enables them to produce competitive and high-quality products. From the above facts it can be concluded that isopropanol is a universal and sought-after remedy in various spheres of production and human activity.
