Description

1-Ethoxyheptane is a high-purity alkyl ether solvent with a linear hydrocarbon chain. Its primary value lies in its excellent solvency power for a range of organic materials combined with a favorable evaporation profile, making it a versatile processing aid. This compound is particularly needed by manufacturers in the coatings, agrochemical, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors seeking reliable, high-performance solvent solutions.

Application

• As a solvent and co-solvent in industrial coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations.
• As an intermediate and reaction medium in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• As a carrier solvent in agrochemical products such as herbicides and pesticides.
• As a cleaning and degreasing agent in precision electronics and metalworking fluids.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in polymer and resin production.
• In flavor and fragrance applications as a high-purity diluent or ingredient.
• For extraction processes in laboratory and pilot-scale chemical separations.

Quality Control

Our 1-Ethoxyheptane is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
