The properties and uses
of octanol
1. the properties of octanol

octanol is a colorless and transparent liquid with a strong special smell. It belongs to the alcohol compound, the molecular formula is C8H18O, the structure is CH3(CH2)7OH. Octanol is highly hydrophobic and can form an azeotropic mixture with water. In addition, octanol is also flammable and produces a blue flame when burned. The chemical properties of

octanol are relatively stable, but it is prone to esterification under acidic conditions to generate the corresponding esters. In addition, octanol can also be substituted with halogen reaction to generate the corresponding halogenated hydrocarbon.

2. the use of octanol

1. solvent and diluent

octanol has good solubility and permeability, can be used as a solvent and diluent. In coatings, inks, printing and dyeing, rubber and other industries, octanol can be used as a solvent to improve the fluidity and uniformity of products. In addition, octanol can also be used in cleaning agents and degreasing agents to remove oil and impurities on metal surfaces, glass and other surfaces.

2. Plasticizer

octanol can be used as a plasticizer to improve the flexibility, ductility and processing properties of plastics. In polyvinyl chloride, cellulose acetate and other plastics, octanol can be used as a plasticizer to reduce the glass transition temperature of the plastic and improve the processing performance and use performance of the plastic.

3. Synthetic Perfume
The
octanol can be used in synthetic perfumes as a precursor to perfume. Through chemical reaction, octanol can be converted into a variety of fragrant ester compounds, used in the preparation of fragrance and perfume.

4. biodiesel

octanol can be used as one of the raw materials of biodiesel, and fatty acid methyl ester and other substances transesterification reaction, biodiesel. Biodiesel has the advantages of environmental protection and renewable, and is a clean energy to replace traditional fossil fuels.

In short, octanol has a wide range of uses in the field of chemical production raw materials, can be used as solvents, plasticizers, synthetic spices and biodiesel raw materials.
