N-Propanol vs. N-Butanol: Cost-Effective Solvents for Cleaning & Formulation

In the global market of cleaning products (such as industrial cleaners, household detergents) and chemical formulations (like coatings, inks, and daily chemical additives), "cost-effectiveness + adaptability" are the core considerations for overseas customers when purchasing solvents. As two classic solvents, N-Propanol and N-Butanol cover different cleaning and formulation scenarios with their unique advantages, becoming a "cost-effective twin star" for foreign trade exports! We specialize in supplying both products, helping you accurately match needs from parameters to application scenarios.

II. Core Advantages: Precise Adaptation for Cleaning & Formulation

1. N-Propanol: The "Efficient and Cost-Saving Choice" for Cleaning Scenarios

Outstanding cleaning power: Quickly dissolves pollutants such as oil, grease, and dust. Adding it to industrial cleaners improves cleaning efficiency by 15-20%, with no residue or white frost after drying.

Fast drying speed: Low boiling point and uniform volatility make it suitable for cleaning scenarios requiring "fast drying" (e.g., electronic component cleaning, equipment surface cleaning), shortening production cycles.

Cost advantage: 10-15% lower raw material cost than N-Butanol, ideal for mass production of cleaning products, offering high cost-effectiveness for overseas small and medium-sized detergent factories.

2. N-Butanol: The "Stable Adaptation Choice" for Formulation Scenarios

Wide solubility range: Can dissolve difficult-to-dissolve raw materials such as resins, pigments, and waxes, serving as a "universal solvent" for coatings, inks, and daily chemical additive formulations, enhancing formulation uniformity and stability.

Excellent water resistance: Controllable compatibility with water. Formulated products (e.g., water-based coatings, rust inhibitors) show a 25-30% improvement in water resistance, suitable for outdoor or humid environment applications.

Auxiliary reaction: Can act as a reaction intermediate to participate in the synthesis of esters and ethers, helping customers extend downstream product chains and increase product added value.

III. Foreign Trade Adaptation Scenarios: Accurately Meeting Different Needs

Product

Core Adaptation Scenarios

Overseas Target Customers

N-Propanol

Industrial cleaners, electronic component cleaning, household detergents

Overseas detergent factories, electronic manufacturing enterprises, daily chemical plants

N-Butanol

Coating formulations, ink dissolution, daily chemical additive synthesis, rust inhibitors

Coating factories, ink enterprises, chemical formulation companies, hardware factories

IV. Core Support for Foreign Trade Procurement

Flexible supply: Purchase N-Propanol or N-Butanol individually, or get mixed solvents according to customer formulation ratios. Small-batch trial orders (starting from 20L) are supported.

Cost control: Direct cooperation with domestic refineries eliminates intermediate price markups. The international market price is transparent, and the comprehensive cost (raw material + sea freight) is 8-12% lower than that of similar suppliers.

Convenient customs clearance: Provide complete customs clearance documents including COA test reports, certificates of origin, and packing lists, adapting to customs clearance requirements of major global ports.

Customized services: Adjust purity and moisture content according to customer needs, and provide free adaptation suggestions for cleaning/formulation scenarios.

Whether you need a low-cost solvent for efficient cleaning or an all-purpose solvent for stable formulations, our N-Propanol and N-Butanol can accurately meet your needs!
