Pentanols – 99% (Isoamyl Alcohol)

Isoamyl Alcohol (at a minimum purity of 99%), is a mixture of isomers 3-methyl, 1-butanol and 2-methyl , 1-butanol, with a preponderance of the first (aproximately 85%). The raw material used by PETROM in the production of Isoamyl Alcohol is fusel oil, which in turn is a byproduct of the distilling of ethyl alcohol (ethanol).

Applications: The main applications of Isoamyl Alcohol are:

– the manufacturing of paints and varnishes, to produce isoamyl acetate;

– the manufacturing of plasticizers for the production of DIAP (DiisoAmyl phthalate);

– the manufacturing of perfumes, for the recovery of oils and essences;

– the synthesis of fragrances and aromas;

– the production of isoamyl salicylate, applied widely in soaps and cosmetic fragrances;

– the purification of phosphoric acid, acting as an extraction solvent.

– the production of Xanthates (mining industry)

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol or IPA, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a strong odor. It is a common solvent with a wide range of applications in industry, healthcare, and household settings.

One of the primary uses of isopropyl alcohol is as a cleaning agent and disinfectant. It is often used to clean electronic devices, medical equipment, and other surfaces that require sterilization. It is also used in the production of hand sanitizers, surface disinfectants, and other cleaning products.

Isopropyl alcohol is also commonly used as a solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other consumer products. It can dissolve a wide range of substances, making it a versatile ingredient in many formulations.

In addition, isopropyl alcohol is often used as a fuel additive, as it can help improve the performance of gasoline engines by reducing the formation of deposits and improving fuel efficiency.

However, isopropyl alcohol can be hazardous if not handled properly. It is flammable and should be stored and handled in a well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition. Direct contact with skin or inhalation of vapor can also cause irritation, so appropriate precautions should be taken when using this substance.

Overall, isopropyl alcohol is a versatile and widely used solvent with a range of applications in industry, healthcare, and household settings. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances and its effectiveness as a cleaning agent and disinfectant make it an essential component of many products and formulations.

Methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odor. It is a type of alcohol that is primarily used as a frother in mineral flotation processes.

MIBC is commonly used in the mining industry as a frother to help separate valuable minerals from unwanted minerals. During the flotation process, MIBC is added to the mineral slurry to create a froth that rises to the top, allowing the desired minerals to be separated from the unwanted minerals. MIBC is particularly effective in frothing sulfide ores, such as copper, lead, and zinc.

MIBC is also used as a solvent in the production of perfumes, paints, and other chemical products. It is a relatively non-toxic and non-corrosive compound, making it a useful alternative to other solvents that may be more harmful or damaging.

However, like all chemicals, MIBC can pose health risks if not handled properly. It is important to follow proper safety procedures, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and ensuring proper ventilation, when working with MIBC or any other chemical.

Sorbitol Syrup 70% – High-Purity Polyol for Food, Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals

Sorbitol Syrup 70% is an aqueous solution of polyols with 70% total solids, produced through catalytic hydrogenation of starch hydrolysates. This clear, sweet-tasting syrup is widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its unique functional properties. It is non-crystallizing, has excellent moisture-retention capabilities, and serves as a sugar substitute in a wide range of reduced-sugar or sugar-free formulations.

For more information on polyols and their applications, you can visit the International Polyol Association.

In the food industry, Sorbitol Syrup is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in reduced-sugar products. It is especially valuable in baking, where it acts as a plasticizer, maintaining softness and extending shelf life by slowing down the staling process. It is also used as a humectant in cookies, peanut butter, fruit preserves, and other low-moisture foods, helping to keep products moist and fresh over time.

In cosmetics and personal care, Sorbitol Syrup functions as a humectant and thickening agent. It helps retain moisture in products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, moisturizing creams, and lotions. Its gentle nature and hydrating properties make it ideal for skin and oral care applications.

Sorbitol also finds specialized applications in other industries. It is used as a cryoprotectant additive—when combined with sucrose and sodium polyphosphates—in the production of surimi, a processed fish paste. It also serves as a moisture-retaining agent in certain tobacco products such as cigarettes.
