Application Category | Typical Scenarios | Specific Application Scenarios | |
Plasticizer Raw Material | PVC plastic processing plants | This is the largest use of isooctanol. It is mainly used to produce plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP). Plasticizers are added to PVC to make flexible plastics, commonly found in wire & cable, artificial leather, agricultural film, toys, shoe soles, etc. | |
Solvent | Paint/coating workshops, printing ink factories, adhesive plants | Isooctanol itself is an excellent solvent used in the production of paints, coatings, and printing inks. It prevents blushing (whitening) of lacquers. In the printing industry, it adjusts ink flow; it is also used in the production of adhesives. | |
Defoamer | White latex production workshops, paper mills, wastewater treatment tanks | Used as a defoamer in white latex production to eliminate foam, and also for foam control in papermaking, textile printing & dyeing, and wastewater treatment systems. | |
Surfactant / Emulsifier Raw Material | Detergent factories, cosmetic plants, mineral processing plants | Used to synthesize active ingredients for detergents and emulsifiers. It can be made into cosmetic raw materials (e.g., isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate, AEP-98). In mining, it is used as a flotation agent. | |
Fragrance / Flavor Raw Material | Perfume workshops, food flavor production plants | Isooctanol has a faint floral scent and can be used to prepare floral flavors such as rose and lily, as well as food flavors like coconut and chocolate. | |
Other Special Uses | Various fine chemical factories | Used as a lubricant additive and anti-rust agent to improve lubrication performance and protect metal surfaces. Also used as a synthesis intermediate for organic compounds such as 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. | |
