Description and Uses

Propylamine, with the chemical formula C3H9N, is a colorless and volatile liquid. It can be dissolved in various solvents such as water, ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, and other organic solvents. Its specific gravity is 0.7, making it lighter than water. Propylamine has a flammable range of 2% to 10% in air and is flammable. It has a boiling point of 120°F (48°C), flash point of 35°F (37°C), and an ignition temperature of 604°F (317°C). Its vapor density is 2, heavier than air, and can form explosive mixtures when combined with air. It can burn and is corrosive, causing skin and tissue irritation. Its primary uses are as a chemical intermediate and a lab reagent.

1-Propylamine is used in chemical analysis and to make other chemicals, used as a solvent in organic synthesis. And it is used as finishing agent of drugs, paints, rubber, fiber, textile and resin. Additionally, it can be used as petroleum additive and preservative.
