Description and Uses
Butyl propionate is a flammable, colorless tostraw-yellow liquid with an apple-like odor. Molecularweight = 130.2; Boiling point = 146℃; Specific gravity(H2O:1) = 0.87; Melting/Freezing point = - 90℃; Vaporpressure = 2.9 mmHg at 20℃; Relative density at 20℃ ofthe saturated vapor/air mixture (air = 1) = 1.01; Flashpoint = 32℃; Autoignition temperature = 426℃. HazardIdentification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):Health 2, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0. Practically insolublein water.
Butyl propionate is a moderately fast evaporating solvent. Its linear structure contributes to effective viscosity reduction and improves solvent diffusion from coating films.
Butyl propionate is used solvent for nitrocellulose, retarder in lacquer thinner, ingredient of perfumes, flavors.
