  • Applications

    9-Heptadecanol (CAS 624-08-8) is a long-chain fatty alcohol used in a range of industrial and consumer-product applications. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as an emollient and conditioning agent and can be a component in ester or surfactant systems. It is also evaluated as a building block for nonionic surfactants and may function as a wax-like lubricant or processing aid in polymer and plastics formulations. In coatings and inks, it can act as a wax additive to improve slip and gloss. In industrial manufacturing, it may be used as a solvent- or plasticizer-type additive in specialty formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
