Description

Alcohols, C6-9 is a defined mixture of linear and branched primary alcohols, primarily hexyl, heptyl, octyl, and nonyl alcohols, with the CAS registry number 71076-86-3. This versatile intermediate is valued for its hydrophobic character and reactivity, serving as a key building block for the synthesis of plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricant additives. It is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their production processes.

Application

• Plasticizer Alcohols: Primary feedstock for the production of phthalate and other ester-based plasticizers, imparting flexibility to PVC and other polymers.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediates: Reacted with ethylene oxide to produce alcohol ethoxylates or sulfated to create anionic surfactants for industrial and household cleaning formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used in synthesizing zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) and other additives that provide anti-wear and antioxidant properties.
• Agrochemical Synergists: Employed in the manufacture of adjuvants and emulsifiers for pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Solvent & Extraction Agent: Acts as a medium-polarity solvent in coatings, inks, and extraction processes.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a starting material for producing acrylate and methacrylate esters, used in adhesives and acrylic resins.
