High-purity reference materials for Octanol

Overview

Octanols are alcohols with the formula C₈H₁₇OH. A simple and important member is 1-octanol, with an unbranched chain of carbons. Other commercially important octanols are 2-octanol and 2-ethylhexanol. Some octanols occur naturally in the form of esters in some essential oils.

Uses

Octanol is used in a variety of industrial applications, including the manufacturing of plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricants. It is also used as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemicals.

Regulatory

Octanol is regulated under various international guidelines for safe handling and usage. Compliance with these regulations is essential for ensuring the safety of workers and the environment.

Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of octanol levels is crucial in industrial settings to prevent overexposure and ensure compliance with safety standards. Analytical methods for detecting octanol include gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to octanol can cause skin and eye irritation. Inhalation of high concentrations may lead to respiratory issues. Long-term exposure effects are still under study, but it is essential to follow safety guidelines to minimize risks.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Octanol can have detrimental effects on aquatic life if released into water bodies. It is important to manage waste and emissions to prevent environmental contamination.

Safety Measures

Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and respirators should be used when handling octanol. Adequate ventilation and spill control measures are also necessary to ensure safety.

Regulation

Various international bodies regulate the use and handling of octanol, including OSHA, REACH, and GHS. Adhering to these regulations is crucial for legal compliance and safety.
