3.Application scope and Usage
1-Hexanol is a natural aliphatic alcohol compound. It is mainly used in food flavors (for blending fruit and herbal flavors, FEMA 2567), cosmetic fragrances (for perfumes, detergents), and industrial solvents (for paints, resins).
4.Package and Storage
Pentanol is packaged in 25kg HDPE plastic drums or aluminum drums. For food-grade products, nitrogen must be filled for protection. It should be stored in a cool and ventilated place (<25℃), away from fire sources and oxidants. It must be tightly sealed to prevent evaporation (flammable liquid). The shelf life is 24 months.
