General Description

Octyl alcohol, mixed isomers is a mixture of different isomers of octyl alcohol, including 1-octanol and 2-octanol. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, commonly used as a solvent, plasticizer, and intermediate in the production of various chemicals including esters, which are used in the synthesis of various flavors and fragrances. It is also used in the manufacturing of antifoaming agents, lubricants, and surfactants. Octyl alcohol, mixed isomers is considered to be a relatively low-toxicity chemical, but exposure to high concentrations of vapors may cause irritation to the respiratory system and eyes. It is important to handle this chemical with care and use it in well-ventilated areas.
