Global Isobutanol Market: Overview
Isobutanol is a bulk chemical used in many industrial applications such as paints & coatings, oil & gas, chemicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals etc. Isobutanol can be defined as a colourless flammable liquid with a characteristic smell which is mostly used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. Isobutanol is produced by the carbonylation of propylene. Many isobutanol derivatives are used in the chemical industry. Isobutyl acetate is one of the majorly used for the production of lacquers and coatings. Isobutyl esters is the other majorly used derivatives used as a plasticizer agents in plastics, rubbers and others dispersions. Isobutanol can also be dehydrated to produce butenes. Butenes plays an important role in the production of materials such as lubricants, synthetic rubber etc.
