Description

1-Heptanol (CAS NO 111-70-6) is a primary seven-carbon fatty alcohol that serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient across multiple industries. Its linear structure and terminal hydroxyl group make it a valuable building block for synthesizing esters, plasticizers, and surfactants. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, polymer, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable raw materials for production.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used as a component in fragrance formulations for its fresh, fatty, and slightly green odor character, and as a flavoring agent.
• Plasticizer Synthesis: A key raw material for producing esters like heptyl phthalates, which act as plasticizers in polymer and resin applications.
• Surfactant and Detergent Intermediate: Employed in the manufacture of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and household cleaning products.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a solvent and an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
• Lubricant Additive: Used in the formulation of synthetic lubricants and corrosion inhibitors.
• Coating and Ink Industry: Functions as a coalescing agent and solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations.
