Butyl propionate

Description:
Butyl propionate, with the CAS number 590-01-2, is an ester formed from the reaction of butanol and propanoic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, often used as a solvent in various applications, including coatings, adhesives, and fragrances. The substance is characterized by its moderate volatility and relatively low viscosity, making it suitable for use in formulations that require good spreading and wetting properties. Butyl propionate has a moderate boiling point and is less dense than water, which influences its behavior in mixtures. It is generally considered to have low toxicity, but appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Additionally, it is important to note that butyl propionate is flammable, necessitating careful storage and usage away from open flames or high heat sources. Overall, its favorable properties make it a valuable compound in industrial and commercial applications.
