Frequently Asked Questions
What is Prisorine 3700 (1-hexanol) used for?
1-Hexanol (n-hexyl alcohol, CAS 111-27-3) is a primary C6 aliphatic alcohol used as a solvent for fats, waxes, dyes, and paints, and as an intermediate for plasticizer esters and perfume esters. It also serves in textile and leather finishing-agent chemistry.
What is the CAS number and molecular formula of 1-hexanol?
The CAS number is 111-27-3 and the molecular formula is C6H14O. It is a six-carbon primary alcohol (n-hexyl alcohol). Each shipment ships with a CoA and SDS stating the lot identity.
Is 1-hexanol an alcohol or an acid?
It is a primary aliphatic alcohol, not an acid. The hydroxyl group sits on a terminal carbon of a straight C6 chain, which is why it functions as a solvent and an esterification feedstock.
What is the HS code for 1-hexanol for import/export?
1-Hexanol falls under HS 2905.19 (other saturated monohydric alcohols). For DOT/IMDG transport it is classified under UN 2282 (hexanols). Confirm the exact tariff line with your customs broker for the destination country.
