Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies N-Propanol and N-Propyl Acetate, two complementary solvents widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives and synthesis. Our products are REACH compliant and shipped globally from our Rotterdam logistics hub in drums, IBCs and bulk ISO tanks with full documentation support.
What is N-Propanol & N-Propyl Acetate?
N-Propanol (CAS 71-23-8) is a clear, medium-evaporation alcohol solvent with excellent miscibility and balanced solvency. It is widely applied in coatings, cleaners and as a chemical intermediate. N-Propyl Acetate (CAS 109-60-4) is an ester solvent known for its mild odour, strong solvency and fast evaporation profile, commonly used in coatings, printing inks and adhesives. Together, these solvents are versatile in industrial formulations requiring controlled drying and compatibility.
Applications Across Industries
Printing Inks
N-Propyl Acetate ensures fast drying; N-Propanol balances flow and viscosity.
Adhesives & Sealants
Used in solvent-based adhesives for improved adhesion and processing.
Industrial Cleaning
N-Propanol is used in cleaning agents and degreasing blends.
Chemical Synthesis
Both solvents serve as intermediates in esters, coatings and fine chemicals.
