FAQs of n-Propyl Acetate:

Q: How should n-Propyl Acetate be stored safely?

A: n-Propyl Acetate should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area, with containers tightly closed to prevent evaporation and minimize fire risk. Recommended packaging includes iron drums, plastic drums, or ISO tanks.

Q: What industrial processes use n-Propyl Acetate?

A: n-Propyl Acetate is commonly utilized as a solvent in the manufacturing of coatings, printing inks, and fragrances due to its effective solvency, pleasant odor, and high purity.

Q: When is n-Propyl Acetate preferred over other solvents?

A: It is preferred when a solvent with a sweet aroma, low water solubility, and moderate evaporation rate (comparable to butyl acetate) is required, especially in specialty coatings and ink formulations.

Q: Where can n-Propyl Acetate be applied in formulations?

A: It is widely applicable in the production of paints, varnishes, printing inks, and scented products, working well in formulations that require a clear, colorless, and rapidly evaporating solvent.

Q: What benefits does n-Propyl Acetate provide in industrial use?

A: Key benefits include its high purity, pleasant fragrance, moderate viscosity, and reliable performance as a solvent, making it suitable for advanced manufacturing processes and consistent product quality.

Q: How is n-Propyl Acetate manufactured?

A: n-Propyl Acetate is produced by reacting propyl alcohol with acetic acid, resulting in a carboxylic ester with the molecular formula C5H10O2 and high purity for industrial use.

Q: What precautions should be taken during usage due to its flammability?

A: Given its flash point of 15C and classification as a flammable liquid (Dangerous Goods Class 3), n-Propyl Acetate should be handled away from ignition sources and in compliance with safety guidelines for flammable chemicals.
