Alcohols - Overview

Alcohols are commonly used as chemical reagents or solvents in industry and science. Due to its low toxicity and good solubility for nonpolar substances, ethanol is widely used as a solvent in various pharmaceuticals, such as perfumes, and in plant extracts, such as vanilla. Alcohols also serve as various intermediates in organic synthesis.

Common types
01.

N-octyl Alcohol

N-octyl alcohol is a fragrant oily liquid, smells like fruit.It evaporates slowly and the fragrance lasts longer. It is good at dissolving spices, oils, etc., and has many uses.

02.

Isobutanol

Isobutanol is a common organic alcohol, which is colorless and has a slight special odor at room temperature.As a combustible organic compound, it burns to produce carbon dioxide and water.At the same time, it has a certain solubility and is often used as a solvent and chemical raw material in coatings, plastics and other industries.

03.

Octanol

Octanol is a colorless oily liquid at room temperature.Because it is slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents, it is widely used in industrial fields, often as a solvent and defoaming agent.

04.

N-Propanol

N-Propanol is a common solvent in industry and daily life.It is volatile and combustible and can be mixed uniformly with water and a variety of solvents.It is often used as an auxiliary ingredient in cleaning circuit boards, diluting paint and cosmetics.

 

Product features

N-octyl Alcohol

High solubility: 1-Octanol dissolves oils, spices and chemical materials easily. So it is widely used in perfumes and coatings.


Slow volatilization: It is slower to volatilize than alcohol. Therefore, it is suitable for perfumes that need a lasting fragrance.


Mild smell: With a light sweet aroma, it is often used to blend cosmetics and food flavorings.

Isobutanol

Excellent combustion performance: 2-MethylpropanoI has high calorific value and the main products are carbon dioxide and water, so it is a potential biofuel with less environmental pollution.


Strong compatibility: Low molecular weight structure enables fast dissolution of resins and coatings, significantly improving process efficiency and layer levelling.


Volatile and controllable: At room temperature, the volatility is lower than that of small molecule alcohols (such as methanol), so there is less volatilization loss in use and better safety.

Octanol

Excellent foam elimination effect: In the foam system of industrial production, it can reduce the surface tension and effectively suppress or eliminate the generation of foam.


Non-corrosive characteristics: CAPRYL ALCOHOL has no obvious corrosion effect on metal, plastic, rubber and other common materials, so the storage and transportation equipment selection is flexible.


Good bonding effect: The viscosity of the system can be adjusted appropriately to optimize the rheological properties of coatings, adhesives and other products.

N-Propanol

Good material compatibility: Low corrosion to most plastic, rubber and metal materials, no need for special material equipment when used, reduce application costs.


Low residue: It is easy to volatilize completely in the drying or processing process, and it is not easy to leave residue in the product, so as to ensure the purity and quality of the final product.


Dry speed is adjustable: By combining with solvents with different volatilization rates, the surface drying time and dry time of coatings and adhesives can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different production rhythms.

Application

 

 

Electronic cleaning agents

It also plays a great role in cleaning electronic accessories. It can clean the residual flux and rosin after PCB board soldering, which volatilizes quickly and does not corrode the circuit.

 

Rubber processing field

In rubber processing, it can be used as plasticizer or solvent to improve the plasticity and processing fluidity of rubber without affecting the mechanical properties of rubber.

 

Adhesives and sealants

In the solvent adhesive, adjust the viscosity of the system to enhance the wettability of the substrate and improve the bonding strength; in the production of sealant, improve the construction fluency and avoid uneven coating caused by high viscosity.

Package & Storage

Package: 170kg drums, 1000kg IBC drum.


Storage: Keep it sealed to prevent volatilization and moisture absorption.


Stored in a cool and dry place.


Keep away from heat source or fire source. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature to prevent oxidation and discoloration.

 

FAQ

Q: Will 1-Octanol corrode equipment?

A: Non-corrosive, it is not corrosive to common equipment materials, but long-term use is recommended to check the seals regularly to avoid swelling and aging.

Q: What is the effect of adding it to cosmetic formula besides enhancing fragrance?

A: It can be used as a moisturizer to enhance the extensibility of the product and assist the active ingredients to penetrate the skin.

Q: In the formulation, how does Isobutanol affect the surface tension of the coating system and thus affect the wettability and leveling?

A: It has low surface tension, which can effectively reduce the surface tension of the whole coating system, thus improving the wettability of low surface energy substrates (such as plastics) and obtaining better leveling.

Q: Will the addition of this product affect the shelf life of cosmetics?

A: Octanol will not shorten the shelf life, but help to extend it. Because it has weak antibacterial properties, it can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria and mold, and reduce the dependence on high doses of traditional preservatives in the formula. Moreover, it is chemically stable and not easy to oxidize or hydrolyze.

Q: Does it corrode the metal?

A: It is not corrosive to ordinary metals (iron, aluminum, stainless steel).However, long-term contact with copper products may cause discoloration of the surface. It is recommended to dry it after use.

Q: Will glass cleaner containing propanol fog up the mirror?

A: No, its rapid evaporation characteristics can reduce water vapor residue, and the added anti-static components can delay dust attachment, keep the mirror clear for a longer time.

Q: What are your payment terms?

A: For our first cooperate client, usually by TT 30% deposit, balance paid against BL copy, or full amount LC at sight. If you are our regular client, payment terms can be adjusted.

Q: What is your delivery time?

A: It depends on order quantity, usually, we will arrange shipment within 3-20 days.
