1-octanol
Description
1-Octanol (CAS 111-87-5 ), also known as octyl alcohol, is a straight-chain fatty alcohol used across chemical manufacturing as a solvent, emulsifier, and surface-active agent. Its FEMA 2800 status positions it as a recognized flavoring ingredient alongside its industrial roles. Procurement demand spans food, cosmetics, and specialty chemical sectors. In flavor formulations, 1-octanol contributes a mild, waxy citrus note and is used in beverage, dairy, and confectionery applications. Personal care manufacturers incorporate it as an emollient carrier. It acts as a co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, where it aids oil-phase dispersion and skin feel. In printing and packaging, it functions as a solvent and wetting agent. The material improves substrate adhesion and flow control in ink formulations. Chemical producers also use it as an intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, surfactants, and acrylate esters. 1-Octanol is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available for high-volume buyers. Standard grades include FCC for food and flavor use. Technical grade is also available for industrial and chemical synthesis applications. Purity specifications typically range from 98% to 99%+ depending on the intended grade and application. Contact us for supply of 1-octanol Request Quote
