Normal butanol (NB)

N-butanol. Acts as a solvent. It is a clear, mobile, neutral liquid with a characteristic odor. The large part of N-butanol produced is converted into derivatives (primarily esters). It is miscible with all common solvents, e.g., alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and aromatic as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons, but is only sparingly soluble in water. Used for baking finishes derived from urea, melamine, or phenolic resins. Also used for acid curable lacquers and printing inks applications.
