1-Octanol (n-Octyl Alcohol) 99% / ≥99.5% / 99.8% CAS No. 111-87-5 Industrial & Pharmaceutical Grade

1-Octanol, available in 99%, ≥99.5%, and 99.8% concentrations, is produced via advanced hydroformylation of 1-heptene followed by hydrogenation, or through the reduction of octanal . As a bio-based version, it can also be derived from renewable feedstocks such as coconut oil fatty acids . It features excellent solvency power, slow evaporation rate, and a characteristic sweet, oily, fatty, citrus-rose odor . As a straight-chain primary alcohol with an eight-carbon chain, it is widely used as a solvent in coatings, a flavor and fragrance intermediate, a chemical building block for plasticizers and surfactants, an anti-foaming agent, and a precursor in pharmaceutical synthesis . 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 paints, varnishes, waxes, and surface coatings, providing excellent flow and leveling properties ；

• Acts as a flavoring agent in the food industry, permitted under GB2760-86 for use in formulating coconut, pineapple, peach, chocolate, and citrus flavors ；

• Widely applied in fragrance manufacturing to blend rose, lily, and other floral notes in perfumes and cosmetics ；

• Serves as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of esters (used in perfumes and flavorings), ethoxylates, alkyl sulfates, and ether sulfates ；

• Functions as an anti-foaming agent in industrial processes and as an emulsifier in anti-rust emulsions ；
