APPLICATIONS
Production of n-Butyl acrylate used for emulsion polymers for latex surface coatings and solution polymers for enamels and lacquers.
Production of n-Butyl Acetate used as an effective solvent for a variety of coating resins including epoxies, urethanes Also used for leather treatment,
perfumes and as a process or reaction solvent.
Production of n-Butyl glycol ethers used as solvents for cleaning fluids, paints and inks.
n-Butanol is used directly as a solvent, mainly in surface coatings , adhesives and agriculture.
An intermediate for other chemicals industry such as lubricant, agriculture, personal care and pharmaceuticals.
Blending with Gasoline to boost Octane number and Blending with diesel to improve cold flow properties and extend oxidative stability.
