  • Applications

    Isodecanol (CAS 25339-17-7) is a branched-chain alcohol used as a solvent and processing intermediate across several industries: it serves as a solvent and solubilizer for cosmetics and personal care; it is a precursor for isodecyl esters, which are employed as nonionic surfactants and components in cleaning formulations and personal care products; it acts as a building block for plasticizers used in PVC and other polymers; it serves as a solvent for coatings, paints, and inks in the coatings/inks sector; and it is used as a solvent and processing aid in esterification and chemical manufacturing operations.
