Application :

• Isopentyl Alcohol ACS is used as a solvent for the preparation of synthetic fruit flavours, such as apricot, banana, cheery, greengage, malt, orange, plum.
• It is a raw material in the production of synthetic banana oil. 
• It is used as a solvent in the manufacture of photographic and chemicals. 
• It is used as an intermediate in preparation of some compounds, for isoamyl acetate and other esters.
• Isoamyl alcohol is used in a phenol–chloroform extraction mixed with the chloroform to further inhibit RNase activity and prevent solubility of RNAs with long tracts of poly-adenine.

Benefits :

• High quality and purity product which met the toughest standard of the American Chemical Society (ACS)
• Used as synthetic flavor
• Used as an antifoaming agent in the chloroform isoamyl alcohol reagent
