Market Definition
The chemical formula for n-butanol, also known as normal butanol or n-butyl, is represented by C3H9OH. It is a transparent liquid with a strong, easily recognizable smell. From a chemical standpoint, n-butanol is distinguished by its boiling point of 117.7°C and freezing point of -89.0°C. The substance has a density of approximately 0.8109 g/cm3 at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. It has limited solubility in water, around 7.7% by weight at the same temperature, but can dissolve in various organic solvents like ethanol and ether. Because of its tendency to easily catch fire, n-butanol is commonly utilized. It is used in a variety of industries for its function as a solvent and as a chemical intermediary in the creation of other substances.
