N-Butanol is a four-carbon primary alcohol used as a solvent and as a raw material for esters and other chemicals. If you need an n-butanol supplier in UAE for formulation or manufacturing, Corofy supplies it in drums with full documentation.
Corofy delivers n-butanol from the Jebel Ali Free Zone to oilfield chemical blenders, paint and coatings manufacturers and industrial customers across the UAE, the GCC and export markets in Africa and Asia.
N-Butanol Overview
N-butanol (1-butanol) evaporates more slowly than lighter alcohols such as isopropanol, and has only limited solubility in water. That balance makes it a useful coupling solvent, helping to bring together components that would otherwise separate.
It is also a key chemical intermediate. It is a starting material for butyl acetate, butyl acrylate and glycol ethers, and it is used as a solvent for resins in coatings, where its slower evaporation helps film flow and levelling.

Applications of N-Butanol
N-butanol serves both as a working solvent and as a feedstock.
Oilfield Chemical Blending
- Coupling solvent in formulated oilfield products.
- Helps solubilise surfactants and active ingredients in solvent blends.
Coatings & Resins
- Solvent for alkyd, amino and other resin systems.
- Slower evaporation improves flow and reduces blushing in coatings.
Chemical Intermediate
- Raw material for butyl esters such as butyl acetate and butyl acrylate.
- Used in the manufacture of plasticisers and other derivatives.
Formulators often choose n-butanol when a lighter alcohol evaporates too fast or is too water-loving for the job. Small additions can improve the clarity and stability of solvent blends, and in coatings it helps control viscosity and drying. Its role as an intermediate means steady, consistent quality is important for downstream manufacturers.

Handling, Storage & Safety
N-butanol is a flammable liquid that can irritate the skin and cause serious eye damage; its vapour may cause drowsiness. Handle it as set out in the Safety Data Sheet, with eye protection, gloves and good ventilation. Keep drums tightly closed and store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources and oxidising agents.
