1-Propanol TCI P0491

1-Propanol, with CAS number 71-23-8, is a commonly used alcohol solvent in laboratory settings. It is a versatile organic compound that plays a crucial role in various chemical processes, including dissolution, purification, and reaction media. Its volatility and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic substances make it an essential component in many laboratory workflows. As a primary alcohol, it is frequently utilized in both research and educational institutions across Indonesia for its reliability and effectiveness in chemical applications.

This compound is preferred due to its non-toxic nature in small doses, making it relatively safe for controlled laboratory environments. It is colorless, odorless, and has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its efficiency as a solvent. The high evaporation rate of 1-Propanol makes it ideal for applications requiring rapid solvent removal. Its ability to dissolve oils, resins, and other organic materials further enhances its utility in chemical synthesis and analytical procedures.

In Indonesian laboratories, 1-Propanol is widely used in chemical research, industrial applications, and educational settings. It is an essential reagent for organic synthesis, quality testing of chemical compounds, and the maintenance of laboratory equipment. Its availability and cost-effectiveness make it a go-to choice for both academic and commercial laboratories in Indonesia.

• Distillation processes benefit from 1-Propanol’s low boiling point, allowing efficient separation of compounds in organic mixtures.
• Solvent for dissolving organic materials such as resins, oils, and waxes, making it ideal for analytical and preparative chemistry tasks.
• Cleaning and degreasing laboratory glassware and equipment due to its ability to dissolve contaminants and its quick evaporation.
• Use in chemical synthesis reactions where a volatile and non-reactive solvent is required to facilitate reaction conditions.
• Preparation of calibration standards and reagent solutions due to its purity and consistent properties in controlled environments.

1-Propanol should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight to maintain its stability and prevent evaporation. It is recommended to use sealed, airtight containers made of materials compatible with organic solvents, such as glass or high-density polyethylene. Due to its volatility, it should be handled in a fume hood to minimize exposure and ensure safe laboratory practices. Always keep the container closed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination. Proper labeling and storage in designated chemical storage cabinets are essential for safety and compliance with laboratory protocols.
