Product Description
N-Propanol, also known as 1-Propanol, is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula C3H8O. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild alcohol odor. N-Propanol is widely used as a solvent in pharmaceuticals, coatings, chemical manufacturing, as well as in disinfectants and cosmetics production. It acts as a chemical intermediate and offers excellent solvency properties with a moderate evaporation rate. Zenco Systems Ltd supplies high-quality N-Propanol to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and neighboring East African countries. The product is recommended to be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources, and handling requires appropriate personal protective equipment due to its flammable nature. Our quality assurance and expert technical support ensure reliable performance for industrial applications.
