Description

Alcohols, C8-10 is a defined mixture of linear primary alcohols, primarily octanol, nonanol, and decanol, with the CAS Registry Number 85566-12-7. This versatile intermediate is prized for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricant additives, offering a balance of hydrophobicity and reactivity. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, personal care, and specialty chemicals 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, such as DINP and DIDP, used to impart 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 cleaners, laundry detergents, and personal care formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used in the synthesis of zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDP) and other additives that provide anti-wear and antioxidant properties to engine oils and industrial lubricants.
• Specialty Ester Production: Serves as a raw material for creating synthetic lubricant base stocks, cosmetic emollients, and solvent esters for coatings and inks.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a solvent or an intermediate in various organic synthesis processes within agrochemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Flavor & Fragrance Ingredients: Used to produce esters that serve as aroma compounds in the flavor and fragrance industry.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C8-10 is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for composition, purity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as hydroxyl value, saponification value, and carbon chain distribution are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and contamination.
