• Sunscreens
• Serums
• Shampoos
• Shower gels
It can support moisture retention and preservation performance in skincare formulations and can also be used as a formulation aid in hair and body care products.


For Formulators
Impurity control is an important consideration when selecting 1,2-Octanediol for cosmetic formulations, particularly for products intended for overseas markets. Liansheng supplies high-purity material with controlled impurity levels for personal care applications.


Agrochemical Industry
1,2-Octanediol is used as an upstream synthetic intermediate for triazole fungicides such as propiconazole.
It is involved in the synthesis of the active molecular structure and is used as a raw material in the production of agrochemical intermediates.


For Agrochemical Manufacturers
Consistent purity and impurity control are important for downstream synthesis and product registration. The product is manufactured and purified under controlled production conditions to provide consistent batch quality.


Polymers & Coatings
1,2-Octanediol can be used as a formulation aid in water-based acrylic and polyurethane systems.
Potential functions include:
• Solubilization support
• Preservation support
• Formulation stability
• Reduction of reliance on certain high-VOC aromatic solvents


It is suitable for customers evaluating low-VOC raw materials for water-based coating formulations.
