Description

11-Eicosenol is a long-chain fatty alcohol, specifically a C20 monounsaturated primary alcohol. This high-purity intermediate is valued for its role as a versatile building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and advanced materials. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for producing esters, surfactants, and other functional derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediates: Serves as a key raw material for synthesizing high-value esters used in perfumery and flavoring agents.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Used in the production of emollients, thickeners, and surfactants for creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral intermediate or a lipophilic side chain in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Lubricant & Plasticizer Additives: Employed to manufacture synthetic esters that enhance the performance of lubricants and impart flexibility to polymers.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial laboratories for chemical research, process development, and material science studies.
• Surfactant Production: A precursor for ethoxylates and other non-ionic surfactants used in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
