Description

Di-n-Octyl Ether is a high-purity, symmetrical dialkyl ether characterized by its long hydrocarbon chains. This chemical serves as a versatile, high-boiling, and relatively inert solvent and reaction medium, particularly valuable in high-temperature applications where stability is paramount. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the specialty chemical, polymer, and pharmaceutical industries seeking a non-polar, aprotic solvent with excellent solvating power for hydrophobic compounds.

Application

• As a high-boiling point solvent and reaction medium for organic synthesis and polymerizations.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in the formulation of specialty polymers and elastomers.
• As an extraction solvent in the purification and separation of organic compounds.
• As a component in high-temperature heat transfer fluids and lubricant formulations.
• As an inert diluent and carrier in the production of catalysts and specialty coatings.
• As a standard or reference material in analytical chemistry and chromatography.
• In research and development for studying phase-transfer catalysis and solvent effects.

Quality Control

Our Di-n-Octyl Ether is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to minimize potential oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
