Welcome to the Higher Alcohols Website
|
Exxal alcohols are distilled, high-purity, clear liquids consisting of primary
aliphatic alcohols produced from selected olefins. They are mixtures of
isomers of different branched structures, primarily methyl branching, with
both odd- and even-numbered carbon chains ranging from C7 to C13.
Exxal alcohols are used as intermediates for a variety of derivatives used in
a multitude of applications. They exhibit the typical reactivity of higher
primary alcohols. They are mostly used in the processes of ethoxylation,
sulfation and esterification.
Exxal 9 (INA) in particular, is used in the manufacture of Di-isononyl
Phthalate (DINP) which is used increasingly as a plasticizer in various
flexible PVC applications. For more information on the performance benefits of
