Your One-Stop Chemical Solvent Supply Expert - Richnow Chem
1-Nonanol, available in 98%, 99%, and ≥99.5% concentrations, is produced via advanced hydroformylation of 1-octene followed by hydrogenation, or through the reduction of nonanal . It features excellent solvency power, slow evaporation rate, and a characteristic sweet, oily, fatty, rose-like odor with citrus and fruity nuances . As a straight-chain primary alcohol with a nine-carbon chain, it is widely used as a solvent in coatings, a flavor and fragrance intermediate, a chemical building block for plasticizers and surfactants, and a reagent in pharmaceutical and biochemical research . Its high purity and consistent quality make it ideal for critical applications requiring precise solvent properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting industrial, pharmaceutical, and food-grade standards.
Scope of Application
Used as a solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, varnishes, and printing inks, providing excellent flow and leveling properties due to its slow evaporation rate ;
Acts as a flavoring agent in the food industry for the manufacture of artificial lemon oil and in formulating citrus, coconut, and fruity flavors ;
Widely applied in fragrance manufacturing for blending man-made rose essence, lily, and other floral notes in perfumes and cosmetics ;
Serves as a chemical intermediate for the production of plasticizers, surfactants, and nonionic emulsifiers for detergents and cleaning products ;
Functions as a solvent and intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis for various medicinal compounds and drug formulations ;
Used in cosmetics for its emollient properties, providing moisture and improving the texture of creams and lotions ;
Product Features
1-Nonanol is manufactured using advanced hydroformylation and fractionation technologies, ensuring consistent quality and precise purity control. The product features excellent solvency for a wide range of organic compounds, oils, and resins, with a boiling point of 213-216°C at 760 mmHg providing slow evaporation characteristics ideal for applications requiring extended open time .
