Description

Isoheptyl Alcohol Bottoms is a specialized mixture of branched C7 alcohols, primarily used as a high-performance intermediate and solvent. This product matters for formulators seeking a versatile, highly volatile alcohol fraction with excellent solvency and reactivity. It is needed by manufacturers in the coatings, agrochemical, and chemical synthesis industries for applications requiring controlled evaporation rates and effective dissolution of resins and active ingredients.

Application

• As a solvent and coalescing aid in industrial coatings, lacquers, and printing inks.
• As a key intermediate and reaction medium in the synthesis of plasticizers, esters, and other specialty chemicals.
• As a carrier and penetration enhancer in agrochemical formulations such as herbicides and pesticides.
• In the production of lubricant additives and synthetic lubricants.
• As a cleaning and degreasing agent in industrial maintenance products.
• As a diluent and flow improver in epoxy and other resin systems.
• In the formulation of adhesives and sealants to adjust viscosity and drying time.

Quality Control

Our Isoheptyl Alcohol Bottoms is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in composition, purity, and key physical properties. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, detailing specifications for critical parameters such as alcohol content, distillation range, and water content to meet your specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
