  • Applications

    3-(Hexadecyloxy)propan-1-ol (CAS 23377-40-4) is a long-chain alkyl ether alcohol that provides a hydrophilic hydroxyl head and a hydrophobic C16 tail, and it can function as a nonionic surfactant or surfactant precursor in cosmetic and household formulations; it can serve as a processing solvent or co-solvent in paints, coatings, and inks; it may act as an internal plasticizer or lubricating additive in plastics and polymer formulations; it is a potential precursor for the synthesis of esters and fragrance-related compounds or surface-treatment additives; and it can serve as an emollient component in personal care products, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
