1-Octanol (CAS 111-87-5) is a premium, colorless, transparent oily liquid presenting a distinct, sweet, herbaceous aroma. It is insoluble in water but completely miscible with major organic solvents including ethanol, ether, and chloroform. As a critical straight-chain saturated fatty alcohol, 1-Octanol serves as a foundational chemical building block for manufacturing advanced plasticizers, anti-aging additives, surfactants, and premium flavors or fragrances. Across various industrial applications, it is widely utilized as an op timized defoaming agent, a low-volatility extraction solvent, and a highly efficient flotation collector in mining operations.

Core Applications
Advanced Polymer Plasticizers: Heavily consumed in synthesizing top-tier cold-resistant and low-volatility plasticizers, such as DOP, DOTP, and dioctyl sebacate, for the PVC and macromolecule industry.
Premium Fragrances & Estences: Used as a compounding agent for rose, jasmine, and neroli floral fragrance notes, or chemically processed into octanoate esters for cosmetics and food packaging applications.
Surfactants & Industrial Defoamers: Formulated into specialized detergents and industrial anti-foaming agents to deliver superb foam control in textile processing, papermaking, and wastewater treatments.
Lubricants & Extraction Agents: Applied as an intermediate for specialized synthetic hydraulic oils, high-boiling extraction solvents for metallic mineral refinement, and oilfield auxiliary formulations.
Packing: Standard shipping weight is 170 KGS net per iron drum. Bulk ISO TANK container packaging is provided for high-volume commercial orders.
Storage: Store inside a cool, dry, and optimally ventilated specialized hazardous goods facility. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C. Keep far away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Keep containers securely sealed and separate from powerful oxidizers and acids.
