  • Applications

    1-Nonadecanol (CAS 1454-84-8) is a waxy, hydrophobic long-chain fatty alcohol used mainly as an intermediate and functional additive: it is ethoxylated or sulfated to make nonionic and anionic surfactants for detergency, emulsification and wetting; serves as an emollient, viscosity builder and co-emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care to improve sensory feel and stability; acts as a lubricity/slip additive in metalworking fluids and inks, and as an internal/external lubricant and mold-release aid in plastics (notably PVC) and rubber; contributes to wax and polish formulations to enhance gloss, water resistance and hardness control; provides a feedstock for fatty esters, plasticizer precursors and surface-treatment agents to hydrophobize pigments and fillers; functions as a phase-change material, leveraging a defined melting point for low-temperature thermal energy storage and microencapsulated thermal regulation; it is also used as a reference/internal standard in GC/GC–MS and as a research reagent in odd-chain lipid/membrane models; these applications benefit from the long-chain alcohol’s stability, low volatility and intrinsic biodegradability.
