• Application: Decanol, also known as 1-Decanol or decyl alcohol, serves a versatile role in various industries due to its unique chemical properties as a long-chain primary alcohol. It is primarily used in the manufacture of plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, and petroleum additives, benefiting from its solvent capabilities. Its incorporation in products spans surface active agents, solvents, and herbicides. In the cosmetic and personal care industry, Decanol functions as an emollient, surfactant, and foam booster, while also aiding in viscosity control and odor masking. It finds application in perfumery as a fixative, thanks to its characteristic floral odor akin to orange flowers. Additionally, Decanol impacts biological systems by enhancing homomeric glycine receptor function and inhibiting 5HT2α receptors, potentially influencing psychological states. This compound, naturally found in sweet orange and ambrette seed, is also commercially derived from liquid paraffin and acts as a plant growth regulator for crops like tobacco.<|vq_532|>
