Octan‑1‑ol (Octyl Alcohol) – LR Grade, 500 ml

Octan‑1‑ol, also known as Octyl Alcohol, is supplied in a 500 ml container and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. This straight‑chain primary alcohol is a colourless to slightly oily liquid with a characteristic mild odour, commonly used in educational chemistry laboratories for studying organic functional groups and physical properties of alcohols.

Identified by CAS Number: 111‑87‑5 and carrying no UN number, octan‑1‑ol is not classified as hazardous for transport when handled correctly. It has low water solubility and a relatively high boiling point compared with shorter‑chain alcohols, making it particularly useful for demonstrating trends in homologous series.

Supplied in a practical quantity for school laboratories, Octan‑1‑ol LR Grade is easy to store, measure, and use for a variety of controlled educational experiments and demonstrations.
