n-Octyl Chloride

Octyl chloride is a convenient means of introducing C8 Alkyl groups in chemical synthesis. It is the starting material for Organometallic catalysts such as Dioctyl tin oxide

Typical Applications

It is used e. g. for the production of UV light absorber Octabenzone, mainly used in PVC.

Benefits at a glance

  • Octabenzone offers highly effective broad UV absorption properties and excellent polymer compatibility, providing maximum polymer protection and low color contribution
  • It also retards yellowing and loss of physical properties in the materials it protects
