# Analysis and determination of propanol in the laboratory

## You want to measure propanol in your samples...

The term propanol is the name of two alcohols:

- Propan-1-ol or n-propanol or propyl alcohol, an isomer sometimes called “propanol”, with the semi-developed formula CH3CH2CH2. It is used as a solvent (for vegetable oils, natural gums, resins, waxes…), as a degreasing agent or as a synthesis intermediate.
- The propan-2-ol or isopropyl alcohol, of semi-developed formula (CH3)2. It is used as a solvent for paints, varnishes, inks, strippers, adhesives; as a cleaning solvent in the electronic industry; as a solvent in the food and pharmaceutical industries for the extraction and purification of natural products (oils, gums, waxes, perfumes, vitamins, proteins …)
