Application	1-Butanol serves a crucial role as a versatile solvent and intermediate in various industrial applications. This colorless, flammable liquid, known for its strong alcoholic odor, acts as an effective solvent for fats, waxes, resins, shellac, and other substances, facilitating the manufacture of products like paints, varnishes, lacquers, and synthetic resins. Additionally, 1-butanol is pivotal in the production of detergents, butyl compounds, rayon, and more. Its use extends to the preparation of paraffin embedding materials in microscopy and the creation of items such as artificial leather, rubber, plastic cements, raincoats, perfumes, and photographic films. Despite its wide usage, it is important to note that 1-butanol is incompatible with strong acids, oxidizing agents, and certain metals, necessitating careful handling in industrial settings.
