Heptyl Alcohol, also known as 1-Heptanol, is a seven-carbon chain primary alcohol that plays an essential role across multiple industries. With its distinct aromatic properties, solvency, and chemical reactivity, Heptyl Alcohol has found widespread use in the flavor and fragrance industry, cosmetics, paint and ink manufacturing, and plasticizer production.
At Acme Synthetic Chemicals, we manufacture and supply high-purity Heptyl Alcohol derived through stringent quality processes. With a focus on consistency, performance, and safety, our Heptyl Alcohol is ideal for both research and commercial-scale use.
Heptyl Alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild, slightly floral odor. As a linear, primary aliphatic alcohol, it serves as both a chemical building block and fragrance compound. Its amphiphilic nature makes it an effective solvent, carrier, and intermediate in many chemical processes.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Heptyl Alcohol is extensively used in the formulation of flavor and fragrance compounds. It acts as a precursor or ingredient in:
Apple, apricot, and coconut scents
Woody, citrus, and fruity notes
Strawberry and vanilla flavors
Its mild aromatic profile and compatibility with essential oils make it highly suitable for blending in perfume bases, air fresheners, and flavor concentrates.
In personal care and cosmetic formulations, Heptyl Alcohol is valued for:
Its role as a fragrance additive
Its function as a solvent or co-solvent in emulsions and oils
Its stability and safety on skin in regulated concentrations
It can be found in lotions, serums, deodorants, and hair care products, where it improves product texture and aroma.

Heptyl Alcohol acts as a solvent in:
Paints and pigment dispersions
Printing inks for paper and packaging
Surface coatings requiring medium evaporation rate and high solvency
Its chemical structure ensures compatibility with both polar and non-polar substances, allowing for better spreadability and drying performance.
Due to its chain length and functional group, Heptyl Alcohol is used in the synthesis of:
Surfactants and emulsifiers
Textile auxiliaries and lubricants
These compounds help in fabric softening, dye dispersion, and improving process efficiency in textile treatment plants.
