Applications
Industrial Solvents:
Used in coatings, paints, and inks due to its moderate evaporation rate and solvency for resins.
As a cleaning agent in electronics and metal processing.
Chemical Intermediates:
Synthesis of esters (e.g., pentyl acetate for fragrances and solvents).
Production of plasticizers, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals.
Agriculture and Pharmaceuticals:
Used in pesticide formulations and as a pharmaceutical solvent.
Food and Fragrance Industry:
Approved as a food additive (flavoring agent) with a fruity aroma.
Safety and Handling
Hazards:
Flammable liquid; vapor may form explosive mixtures with air.
Irritating to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract; may cause dizziness or nausea if inhaled or ingested.
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Key Points:
GHS Classification: Flammable Liquid (Category 3), Skin Irritant (Category 2), Eye Irritant (Category 2A).
Precautionary Measures:
Keep away from heat/open flames; use in well-ventilated areas.
Wear protective gloves/eye gear; avoid prolonged skin contact.
In case of fire, use foam, CO2, or dry powder extinguishers.
Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, away from oxidizing agents.
Environmental Impact
Moderately persistent in water; biodegradable under aerobic conditions.
Toxic to aquatic life (LC50 for fish: ~10-100 mg/L); avoid release into waterways.
Market and Economics
Global production is primarily driven by demand from the coatings and chemical industries.
Often sold as a mixture with isomeric pentanols (e.g., isoamyl alcohol), but pure n-pentanol is separated via distillation for specific applications.
