Uses:
- Butanol is used as a solvent for paints, coatings, varnishes, fats, oils, waxes, rubber and plasticizers.
- It is also used as a raw material for coating resins, butyl acrylate, butyl acetates, glycol ethers, etc.
- It is widely used as a diluent in cellulose nitrate lacquers and serves to improve their flow, gloss and resistance to blushing.
- It is used as a solvent for dyes e.g. in printing inks.
- Used as Additive in polishes and cleaners, de-icing fluids and in gasoline for spark-ignition engines.
- Used as Solubilizer in the textile industry.
- Used as feedstock for the production of flotation aids (e. g. butyl xanthate) and glycol ethers (in reactions with ethylene
or propylene oxide)
- Used as Humectant for cellulose nitrate.
Storage:

Hazards:
- Harmful if swallowed.
- Causes skin irritation.
- Causes serious eye damage.
- May cause respiratory irritation.
- May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
First Aid Measures:
- In case of eye contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present. Continue rinsing.
- In case of fire: Use alcohol resistant foam or normal protein foam for extinction.
- If case of skin contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Take off contaminated clothing.

aspiration of vomitus.
- If inhaled: Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed.
Fire Fighting Measures:
- Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
- Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
- Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
- If safe, switch off electrical equipment until vapour fire hazard removed.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
Accidental Release Measures:
- Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment.
- Ensure adequate ventilation. Environmental Precautions Should not be released into the environment.
