Description

5-Dodecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol with the CAS registry number 10203-33-5, serving as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis and industrial formulations. Its value lies in its hydrophobic nature and ability to act as a precursor for surfactants, plasticizers, and fragrance components, offering a balance between lipophilicity and reactivity. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the chemical, cosmetic, and specialty materials sectors seeking reliable raw materials for product development.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for the synthesis of nonionic surfactants, emulsifiers, and cleaning agents.
• Plasticizer Production: Used in the manufacture of esters that act as plasticizers for polymers like PVC, improving flexibility and workability.
• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Serves as a building block or a modifier in the creation of aromatic compounds for perfumes and flavorings.
• Lubricant Additive: Employed in the formulation of synthetic lubricants and metalworking fluids to enhance performance characteristics.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate in organic reactions, including esterification and etherification, for producing specialty chemicals.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Used as an emollient or a base material in personal care products such as creams and lotions.
