Octanol (CAS No. 111-87-5), with the molecular formula C8H18O, refers specifically to 1-octanol, a fatty alcohol. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent odor and low solubility in water but excellent miscibility with most organic solvents. As a versatile intermediate, it is widely used in the production of plasticizers, surfactants, and solvents due to its appropriate chain length and reactivity.

Global Reach: Our Octanol has been successfully exported and applied in key markets across the globe, including but not limited to Germany, India, Japan, Brazil, South Korea, and Belgium. Our product consistently meets diverse international standards and specifications.
Equivalent Alternatives: In the global market, our product serves as a reliable and cost-effective alternative to leading producers such as BASF, Oxea, Sasol, Kao Chemicals, P&G Chemicals, and KLK Oleo.
Primarily used as a key raw material in the production of high-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizers like DINP and DIDP. These plasticizers are essential for imparting flexibility and durability to PVC products such as cables, flooring, and synthetic leather.
Employed in the synthesis of surfactants, particularly sulfate esters (e.g., octyl sulfate). These surfactants are valued for their good wetting and foaming properties, used in detergents and personal care products.
Acts as a slow-evaporating solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. It helps improve flow, leveling, and gloss, while also functioning as a coalescing aid in latex paints.
Used as a solvent and carrier in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its mild odor and ability to dissolve a wide range of aromatic compounds.
