Product Overview
n-Octanol 99% is a high-purity, straight-chain fatty alcohol widely used as a solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis. Its hydrophobic nature and low volatility make it ideal for extraction processes and as a non-polar solvent in chromatographic applications. The synthesis-grade purity ensures minimal impurities, providing consistent results in sensitive reactions. With a mild, characteristic odor, this reagent is compatible with most organic compounds without causing degradation. Its moderate boiling point (195?C) allows for controlled evaporation, making it suitable for distillation and purification workflows. The liquid form ensures easy handling and precise volume measurements in laboratory settings. Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents to maintain stability. This product meets stringent quality standards for research and development applications, offering reliability in critical experimental procedures.
