Applications
Primarily used in the production of plasticizers, extractants, stabilizers, as well as a solvent and intermediate for fragrances. In the plasticizer industry, "octanol" generally refers to 2-ethylhexanol, which is a large-scale industrial raw material produced on a million-ton scale and holds significantly higher industrial value than 1-octanol. 1-Octanol itself is also used as a fragrance, blending in floral scents such as rose and lily, and as a soap fragrance. It is approved as a food flavoring agent under China's GB2760-86 standards, mainly used to formulate coconut, pineapple, peach, chocolate, and citrus flavorings.
