  • Applications

    Heptadecan-8-ol (CAS 2541-75-5) is a building block and intermediate used in several industrial applications: it serves as a basis for long-chain ester synthesis used in fragrances and cosmetics; it acts as a precursor for ester derivatives and surfactants used in cosmetic formulations and in household and personal-care products; it can be converted into surfactants or additives for cleaning product formulations; it is an intermediate in the production of specialty chemicals for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals; and it can function as a lubricant or plasticizer in polymer, plastic, and coating formulations.
