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 across industrial sectors.

Its terminal alkyne group makes it a practical building block for synthesizing specialty polymers, surfactants, and pharmaceutical precursors for various high-performance applications.

In oil and gas production, it is formulated into acidizing fluids used during well stimulation, where it inhibits corrosion of steel tubulars and downhole equipment exposed to hydrochloric acid.

Metalworking and electroplating operations use it as a corrosion inhibitor additive in pickling baths and acid cleaning solutions to protect metal surfaces during intensive processing.

As a monomer and building block, it serves in the synthesis of propargylic esters, ethers, and specialty acrylates used in UV-curable coatings and modern polymer systems.

In agrochemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, it functions as a key intermediate in the production of active ingredients and complex fine chemical synthesis chains.

The product is supplied as a clear liquid, typically at 99% purity for industrial and synthesis-grade applications, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive chemical reactions.

It is available in standard packaging including drums and IBC containers, with bulk quantities offered for high-volume industrial users requiring reliable supply chains.
