CAS No 123-96-6 HS Code 2905199090 Molecular formula C₈H₁₈O Molecular weight 130.23

Product description

2-Octanol (CAS 123-96-6) is a versatile secondary alcohol with ≥99% purity, serving as a critical intermediate in plasticizer production and chemical synthesis. Its excellent solvent properties make it valuable in the fragrance industry, coatings formulation, and specialty chemical manufacturing. With low impurity levels (2-octanone ≤0.5%, water ≤0.1%) and consistent batch-to-batch quality, our 2-Octanol ensures reliable downstream processing. The compound's branched-chain structure provides superior solvency compared to linear alcohols, making it particularly effective in applications requiring selective dissolution or specific reaction pathways.

Appearance Transparent liquid
Purity (%) ≥99
Color (APHA) ≤10
Water (%) ≤0.1
Acid value (mg KOH/g) ≤0.1
2-Octanone (%) ≤0.5

Where it is used

One batch, one specification — pick your downstream process for grade advice.

Plasticizer Production

Plasticizer Production

Esterification yield and the colour of the finished ester follow the alcohol feedstock, because assay, moisture and acid content all carry through the reactor. Feedstock is qualified against the plant's incoming specification before it is loaded out.

Solvent

Solvent

Solvent choice trades evaporation rate against solvency: a moderate rate leaves time to flow and level, a fast rate shortens the drying step. We match the solvent specification to the resin system and to the drying window the line runs at.

Chemical Intermediate

Chemical Intermediate

Downstream synthesis inherits whatever the intermediate carries, so a consistent assay and low impurity levels matter more than a headline purity figure. The buyer's own specification sets the assay limits we ship, not a catalogue range.

Fragrance Industry

Fragrance Industry

Fragrance and flavour houses need intermediates with a stable odour profile and consistent purity, because trace impurities carry through to the finished compound. Odour profile and purity limits are fixed on the buyer's own specification.

Coatings

Coatings

A coating needs solvency for the resin and a film that stays flexible without staying tacky, and the solvent's evaporation rate sets how long it can flow and level. We match solvent and plasticizer to the formulation and to the cure schedule.
