C9-11 alcohols

C9-11 Alcohols (CAS 66455-17-2), commercially available under the trade name Linevol 911, are a blend of synthetic, linear primary alcohols in the C9 to C11 carbon chain range. They function as mid-chain fatty alcohols used across cleaning, personal care, and industrial formulations.

These alcohols are primarily utilized as solvents, carriers, and emulsification aids. In home care and industrial cleaning formulations, they act as hydrotropes and co-solvents that improve the solubility of surfactant systems and boost cleaning performance.

They are particularly effective in hard surface cleaners and degreasers. Personal care formulators use them as carrier solvents in fragrance delivery systems and as emollient components in rinse-off products where a light skin feel is required.

In metalworking and lubricant applications, they serve as base fluids or co-solvents in cutting fluids and rust-preventive formulations. They are also used as intermediates in the production of ethoxylated alcohol surfactants and sulfate esters.

C9-11 Alcohols are supplied as a clear liquid in bulk quantities, including ISO tank, drum, and IBC formats. Technical grade is the standard commercial specification for industrial and cleaning applications.

Purity and composition specifications typically follow supplier-defined standards aligned with oleochemical and petrochemical industry norms. This ensures consistent performance across various manufacturing and chemical processing environments.
