Methylhexanol; 96%

Description:

Methylhexanol, specifically the isomeric mixture often referred to as 2-methylhexanol, is an organic compound characterized by its aliphatic alcohol structure. With a molecular formula typically represented as C7H16O, it features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a six-carbon chain, making it a secondary alcohol. This substance is generally colorless and has a mild, pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water. Methylhexanol is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including surfactants and plasticizers. Its applications extend to the formulation of coatings, adhesives, and personal care products. The compound is known for its relatively low toxicity, but like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition is essential to ensure safety and stability.
