Description

Isononyl Alcohol is a branched-chain primary alcohol, a key intermediate in the production of high-performance plasticizers and specialty chemicals. Its unique structure provides excellent solvency, low volatility, and superior performance in demanding formulations, making it a critical component for enhancing product durability and flexibility. This versatile chemical is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and lubricant industries seeking to improve the properties of their end products.

Application

• Primary raw material for the synthesis of DINP (Diisononyl Phthalate) and other high-molecular-weight phthalate plasticizers used in PVC products like cables, flooring, and synthetic leather.
• Intermediate in the production of non-phthalate plasticizers (e.g., DINCH, TOTM) for sensitive applications requiring enhanced safety profiles.
• Key feedstock for manufacturing lubricant additives, such as esters and anti-wear agents, improving the performance of industrial and automotive lubricants.
• Solvent and coalescing agent in high-quality industrial coatings, inks, and adhesives, contributing to film formation and stability.
• Precursor for the synthesis of surfactants and detergent intermediates used in specialized cleaning formulations.
• Chemical intermediate in agrochemical and pharmaceutical synthesis, where its branched structure is leveraged for specific molecular modifications.

Quality Control

Our Isononyl Alcohol is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to relevant ISO standards, and the material is compliant with global regulatory frameworks such as REACH. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer distribution, and critical physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent contamination.
