Isooctyl alcohol

Isooctyl alcohol is a branched-chain aliphatic alcohol commonly used as a solvent, plasticizer, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. It is not used as a food ingredient, but rather in industrial and material applications such as fragrances, coatings, and cleaning agents. Safety assessments focus on dermal and inhalation exposure, with low acute toxicity reported, though it can cause skin and eye irritation upon direct contact.
