  • Applications

    Ether, heptyl hexyl (CAS 7289-40-9) is a non-polar, high-boiling ether used as a solvent and diluent in industrial manufacturing, notably for coatings, inks, and adhesives. It also serves as a processing solvent in polymer and plastic formulations, enabling thinning and dissolution of resins. Given its non-polar character and solvent power, it may act as a plasticizer for certain plastics or resins. Additionally, it can appear in cleaning formulations as an industrial solvent and may function as a processing aid or intermediate in organic synthesis. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
