Description

Propyl Propionate CAS NO 106-36-5 is a clear, colorless ester with a characteristic fruity odor. This versatile solvent and flavor/fragrance intermediate is valued for its high volatility and favorable solvency profile. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the coatings, printing inks, and specialty chemical sectors seeking effective, low-residue solutions.

Application

• Solvent for Coatings & Inks: Acts as an active, highly volatile solvent in lacquers, printing inks, and industrial coatings, promoting rapid drying and excellent film formation.
• Flavor & Fragrance Ingredient: Used as a synthetic flavoring agent in food products and as a fragrance component in perfumes and cosmetics, imparting fruity notes.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
• Cleaning & Degreasing Formulations: Employed in specialty cleaning products and degreasers for its ability to dissolve oils and resins effectively.
• Adhesive & Sealant Systems: Functions as a solvent carrier in adhesive formulations to adjust viscosity and drying characteristics.
