1-Octanol Supplier | CAS 111-87-5
1-Octanol is a linear C8 primary alcohol used as a raw material for n-octyl ester synthesis, surfactant intermediates and industrial solvent applications. Also known as n-octyl alcohol, octan-1-ol and caprylic alcohol, it should be selected according to the requirements of the intended process or formulation.
For synthesis applications, review purity, water content and relevant impurity limits. For solvent applications, consider formulation compatibility, odor and drying requirements.

Ester Synthesis and Fragrance Intermediates
1-Octanol is used as an alcohol feedstock for producing n-octyl esters through esterification with carboxylic acids. These derivatives serve as intermediates and ingredients in fragrance and specialty-chemical manufacturing. For fragrance-related synthesis, the starting alcohol’s odor, color and impurity profile are relevant to the intended derivative.
Surfactant Manufacturing
1-Octanol is a starting material for alcohol ethoxylates, alkyl sulfates and ether sulfates. It supplies the linear C8 alkyl group used in these surfactant derivatives, which have downstream applications in detergents, cleaners and other formulated products.
Solvent Applications in Paints, Coatings and Waxes
1-Octanol is used as a solvent component in paints, varnishes, surface coatings and wax-containing products. In these formulations, its suitability depends on compatibility with the resin, wax and other solvents, together with the required drying behavior and odor profile.
Foam-Control Applications
1-Octanol also has anti-foaming applications in industrial processes and formulations. Supplied as the alcohol raw material, it can be evaluated for foam-control use in the intended system, with performance and dosage determined under the relevant operating conditions.
Packaging and Bulk Orders
1-Octanol is supplied in 25 kg drums. For bulk pricing and delivery arrangements, contact Unilong with your required quantity and destination.
Storage
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from heat and ignition sources. Keep separate from strong oxidizing agents. Follow the product SDS for handling and storage instructions.
