  • Applications

    3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30-Decaoxaoctatetracontan-1-ol (CAS 13149-86-5) is a long-chain polyether alcohol commonly used as a nonionic surfactant and dispersion aid, improving wetting and pigment stabilization in cleaners, paints, coatings, and printing inks. It also acts as a polyol or processing plasticizer in polyurethane and other polymer systems, enhancing flexibility and workability. In formulation practice, it serves as a solvent or co-solvent to solubilize hydrophobic ingredients and facilitate blending. In cosmetic and personal-care products, it functions as a humectant and solvent, contributing to texture and product feel. Additionally, it can serve as a lubricity-enhancing and compatibilizing additive in adhesives and coatings, promoting dispersion and compatibility between hydrophobic and hydrophilic components.
