Propargyl alcohol

Propargyl alcohol (CAS 107-19-7), also known as acetylene carbinol, is a reactive acetylenic alcohol used as a corrosion inhibitor and chemical intermediate.

Where is Propargyl alcohol used?

• Oil and gas: corrosion inhibitor in acidizing fluids during well stimulation, protecting steel tubulars and downhole equipment from hydrochloric acid
• Metalworking and electroplating: corrosion inhibitor additive in pickling baths and acid cleaning solutions
• Polymer and coatings synthesis: building block for propargylic esters, ethers and specialty acrylates used in UV-curable coatings
• Agrochemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing: intermediate for active ingredients and fine chemical synthesis
• Its terminal alkyne group makes it a building block for specialty polymers, surfactants and pharmaceutical precursors.

Commercial specifications

• 99% purity
• Drums and IBC containers; bulk quantities
