N-octyl Alcohol is a high boiling, low volatility linear primary alcohol. Its core value lies in its long carbon chain structure, making it a high-performance high boiling point solvent, excellent chemical intermediate, and functional additive raw material, which performs excellently in systems that require slow drying, long-lasting, or hydrophobic properties.
Product Features
Low volatility
The boiling point is close to 196 ° C, and the vapor pressure is extremely low. As a solvent, it can significantly extend the operating "open time" of the system and is suitable for baking coatings, screen printing inks, and other processes.
Excellent oil solubility
It is almost immiscible with water, but can be mixed with the vast majority of organic solvents and oily substances.
Pleasant odor
It has pleasant wax fragrance, and is a legal fixative and modifier for daily chemical and edible essence. It can delay the overall aroma volatilization, making the fragrance more full-bodied and long-lasting.
Application
High boiling point solvent
Used for processes such as baking paint, screen printing ink, resin synthesis, etc. that require slow evaporation to improve leveling or prolong reaction time.
Key chemical intermediates
As a core raw material, N-Octanol is used for the production of surfactants, plasticizers, lubricant additives, and spice esters.
Fragrance and flavor
As perfume or fixative, it is used in cosmetics, perfume, soap and edible essence.
Defoamer
As an active ingredient, it is widely used in defoamer formulations in industries such as coatings, textiles, and wastewater treatment.
Package & Storage
Packaging
170 kg drums, 1000 kg IBC containers
Storage

Keep away from heat sources or fire. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures to prevent oxidation and discoloration.
FAQ
Q: What is the production lead time?
A: In-stock items: within 2 weeks. New products: 2-3weeks.
Q: How to use N-octyl Alcohol in solvents?
A: It can be added to organic solvents or oils in proportion. Heating and stirring will dissolve it quickly and ensure uniform mixing.
Q: Is N-octyl Alcohol volatile?
A: No. It has low volatility, is easy to control during storage and use, and is not easily lost, improving raw material utilization.
