Description:
n-Butanol is a clear, colorless liquid alcohol with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It is widely used as a solvent, intermediate in chemical synthesis, and in the production of coatings, resins, and plasticizers. It is also found in biofuel applications. Butanol is moderately soluble in water but highly miscible with most organic solvents.
