Description

2-Octyl-1-Dodecanol is a high-molecular-weight, branched-chain fatty alcohol. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emollient properties, chemical stability, and low volatility. It serves as a key raw material for formulators and manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and decorative cosmetics.
• Lubricants & Greases: Used as a synthetic base oil or viscosity modifier in specialty lubricants requiring high stability and low pour point.
• Plasticizers: Acts as a secondary plasticizer and processing aid in polymer formulations, including PVC.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber and leather treatment.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a lubricity additive and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a hydrophobic building block for producing esters, surfactants, and other derivatives.
