n-Propanol is a colourless, mobile, aloof aqueous of bromideplate animation and has a appropriate alcoholic odour. It is advisedly miscible with baptize and al known solvents such as alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, ambrosial and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

n-Propanol is used as a bread-and-butter and an intermediate. It shows beneath addiction to blot baptize than lower alcohols, and has a appreciably milder and added affable odour than college alcohols. The cmain appliance as a bread-and-butter is in flexographic and added press inks. In the coatings industry, n-Propanol is a advantageous medium-volatility alcohol for convalescent the dehydration characteristics, e. g. of alkyd resins, electrodeposition paints and baking finishes. It is added to cleaners, attic polishes and metal degreasing fluids and is used as an added solvents in the accomplish of adhesives. n-Propanol is aswell present in de-icing fluids and is used as extractant and entrainer in azeotropic distillation.

n-Propanol is a feedstock in the accomplish of insecticides, herbicides and pharmaceuticals. It reacts with acerb acid to anatomy propyl acetate, with ammonia to anatomy propylamines and with halogens to anatomy the agnate propyl halides.
