Description

2-Nonyl-1-Undecanol is a high-molecular-weight branched-chain fatty alcohol, also known as 2-Nonylundecanol. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its hydrophobic properties and excellent stability, making it a key building block for advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries for its role in creating high-performance emollients, synthetic lubricants, and plasticizers.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a non-greasy feel and enhanced spreadability.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Serves as a base stock or viscosity modifier for synthetic lubricants, offering excellent thermal and oxidative stability.
• Plasticizer Production: Used in the synthesis of specialty plasticizers for polymers, contributing to improved flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for producing non-ionic surfactants with good biodegradability and low foam characteristics.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity enhancer in cutting and grinding fluids.
