Description

2-Methyl-5-Nonanol is a branched-chain aliphatic alcohol with the CAS number 29843-62-7. This versatile intermediate is valued for its role in the synthesis of high-performance plasticizers, lubricants, and specialty fragrance compounds. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the polymer, chemical synthesis, and flavor & fragrance industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Plasticizer Intermediate: A key building block in the production of specialized phthalate and adipate ester plasticizers, improving the flexibility and durability of PVC and other polymers.
• Lubricant & Synthetic Fluid Component: Used in formulating synthetic lubricants, metalworking fluids, and hydraulic fluids where thermal stability and low volatility are required.
• Fragrance & Flavor Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for musk-like odorants and other aroma chemicals, contributing to complex scent profiles in perfumes and consumer products.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Employed in organic synthesis for the production of surfactants, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals due to its reactive hydroxyl group.
• Solvent & Coalescing Agent: Acts as a high-boiling-point solvent and coalescing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations.
