Germany, the United States, and China are the leading exporters of 1-Pentanol, collectively accounting for over half of global exports in recent years; major importers include South Korea, India, and Mexico, reflecting strong demand from chemical manufacturing and solvent applications. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in Asian imports offsetting flat demand in Europe, while 1-Pentanol prices have shown moderate upward pressure amid tightening supply chains and feedstock cost fluctuations.
1-Pentanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, chloroform-like odor and moderate volatility; it melts at −78 °C and boils at 138 °C. It is a primary aliphatic alcohol and classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of esters—particularly amyl acetate—for use in coatings, inks, and plasticizers, and as a solvent in specialty applications requiring moderate polarity and evaporation rate. Its main application areas include coatings, adhesives, and as a building block in the production of flavor and fragrance compounds.
Raw material for pharmaceutical preparations;organic synthesis solvent.
Amyl alcohols (pentanols) have eight isomers. All are flammable, colorless liquids, except the isomer 2,2- dimethyl-1-propanol, which is a crystalline solid.Amyl alcohol has a characteristic fusel-like sweet and pleasant odor and burning taste. It is somewhat more toxic than ethyl alcohol.
This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals - Food Additives. See more about what is 1-Pentanol and 1-Pentanol SDS information.
