Product Description

Isoamyl Alcohol, also known as isopentyl alcohol or 3-methyl-1-butanol, is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, characteristic odor. It is a primary alcohol with a branched chain structure and is commonly used in various industrial and commercial applications. Isoamyl Alcohol is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as glucose or starch, followed by fractional distillation. It is valued for its solvent properties, intermediate role in organic synthesis, and use as a fragrance ingredient. Isoamyl Alcohol is widely utilized as a solvent in the formulation of coatings, paints, varnishes, and adhesives due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. It is also employed as a raw material in the production of esters, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals.

Additionally, Isoamyl Alcohol is used as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry and as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics. However, it should be handled with care as prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, should be observed when working with Isoamyl Alcohol
