Description and Uses
3-Methyl-1-butanol is used as solvents for oils, fats, resins, and waxes; in the plastics industry in spinning polyacrylonitrile; and in manufacturing lacquers, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as flavoring agents and in fragrances. Industrial exposure is principally by the dermal contact and inhalation.
