Description

3-Hexylnonan-1-Ol is a high-purity, branched-chain primary alcohol with the CAS number 51655-59-5. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and performance additive, valued for its unique hydrophobic character and chemical functionality. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the production of advanced lubricants, plasticizers, and specialty surfactants where tailored molecular architecture is required.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Acts as a synthetic base oil or viscosity modifier, enhancing thermal stability and reducing friction in high-performance formulations.
• Plasticizer Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialized phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizers for polymers requiring low volatility and improved flexibility.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Serves as a hydrophobic feedstock for producing non-ionic surfactants with specific branching for enhanced wetting and emulsifying properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Component: Incorporated into protective coatings and oilfield chemicals to form a hydrophobic barrier on metal surfaces.
• Flavor & Fragrance Ingredient: Utilized as a building block for synthesizing aroma chemicals with long-lasting, mild olfactory characteristics.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Provides a chiral, lipophilic backbone for the synthesis of active ingredients and prodrugs.
