  • Applications

    Dodecan-4-ol (CAS 10203-32-4) is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a feedstock for the production of long-chain esters for fragrance and flavor applications; it serves as a raw material for the manufacture of nonionic surfactants via ethoxylation, supporting household products as well as coatings and paints; it is involved in the production of thickening agents, lubricants, and other additives for polymers and coatings; it can be used as a solvent or processing aid in industrial manufacturing; and it is a potential precursor for ester derivatives used in cosmetics/personal care, depending on local regulations.
