Description

2.2.4-Trimethyl-1-Pentanol CAS NO 123-44-4 is a branched-chain primary alcohol, also widely known as isooctyl alcohol. This chemical is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and solvent, offering properties like low volatility and good solvency for resins and oils. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the coatings, plasticizers, lubricant additives, and specialty chemical synthesis industries.

Application

• Plasticizer Production: A key raw material in the synthesis of esters like diisooctyl phthalate (DIOP), used as plasticizers for PVC and other polymers.
• Coating & Ink Formulations: Acts as a solvent and coalescing agent in paints, lacquers, and printing inks, improving flow and film formation.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used to manufacture additives that improve the performance and stability of lubricating oils and fuels.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves in organic synthesis for producing surfactants, flotation agents, and other derivatives.
• Extraction Solvent: Employed in extraction processes for pharmaceuticals and natural products due to its selective solvency.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Functions as a solvent and viscosity modifier in various adhesive and sealant systems.
