More common than Nonyl alcohol are its many isomers, including isononyl alcohol, which are typically produced by hydroformylation of octenes.
Isomeric octenes are produced by dimerization of butenes.
These alcohol mixtures are used as solvents in paints and as precursors to plasticizers.

STORAGE:
The packaging of the product may be reversed during transportation, cause the high purity compounds to adhere to the neck or cap of the vial.Take the vail out of its packaging and shake gently until the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial.
For liquid products, please centrifuge at 500xg to gather the liquid to the bottom of the vial.
Try to avoid loss or contamination during the experiment.
