It is mainly used in the production of plasticizers, extractants, stabilizers, and intermediates for solvents and fragrances. In the field of plasticizers, octanol is generally referred to as 2-ethyl ethanol, which is a million-ton bulk feedstock and is industrially far more valuable than N-octanol. Octanol itself is also used as a spice, blending rose, lily and other flower fragrance, as soap spices. The product is China’s GB2760-86 provisions for the allowed use of edible spices. Mainly used in the preparation of coconut, pineapple, peach, chocolate and citrus flavor. “

Application
1-Octanol (CAS 111-87-5), also known as capryl alcohol, is a straight-chain fatty alcohol with a mild, waxy, citrus-like odor. It is widely used as a fragrance fixative and blending agent in perfumes, colognes, and personal care products. In cosmetics, it functions as an emollient, skin conditioning agent, and non-greasy moisturizer in lotions, creams, and hair conditioners. As a solvent, 1-octanol is employed in industrial cleaning formulations, printing inks, and coatings. It also serves as a plasticizer intermediate for PVC and as a defoamer in water treatment and pulp processing. In the flavor industry, it imparts fatty, fruity notes to beverages and dairy products (FEMA 2800). Additionally, 1-octanol is used in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of high-purity 1-octanol with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
