Examples of solvents include alcohol, hexane, acetone and others.Key properties include:

• Chemical name: Mixed Alcohol Solvent
• Composition: Mixture of Butanol and Methanol
• Appearance: Clear, colourless liquid
• Odour: Characteristic alcohol odour
• Boiling range: Approx. 64–118°C (depending on blend ratio)
• Flash point: Highly flammable

Applications of Mixed Alcohol Solvent

Mixed alcohol solvent is widely used in industrial and laboratory environments where effective solvent properties are required. It can dissolve a wide range of organic compounds and is suitable for:

• Paints, coatings, and thinners – Used as a fast-evaporating solvent to improve flow and finish
• Adhesives and sealants – Improves viscosity control and drying time
• Printing inks – Used to achieve smooth consistency and fast drying
• Cleaning and degreasing – Effective at removing oils, waxes, and residues
• General laboratory use – For sample preparation, dilution, and reagent cleaning
