Materials with this function

161 source-linked library assignments. Matching a function does not establish compatibility, safety or a greener replacement.

Supplier-reported greener choice

1-Heptanol

CAS 111-70-6

Recorded function: Solvent; grade-specific formulation functions not listed.

Supplier-grade/general function only; this does not establish compatibility with a starter formula, lower hazard, an EcoSafe rating or a verified environmental improvement.

1-Hexanol

CAS 111-27-3

Recorded function: Solvent and intermediate for derivatives, lubricants and technical formulation

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

1-Nitropropane

CAS 108-03-2

Recorded function: Nitroalkane solvent and building block for coatings, inks, cellulose systems and synthesis

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

1-Octanol

CAS 111-87-5

Recorded function: Intermediate for alcohol derivatives; solvent, wetting/defoaming ingredient and partition-study medium

Documented general function only; supplier-grade and application scope remain unchanged.

1-Pentanol

CAS 71-41-0

Recorded function: Primary alcohol / solvent and ester-synthesis intermediate

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

1,1-Dichloroethane

CAS 75-34-3

Recorded function: Chlorinated intermediate and selected synthesis solvent

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

1,1,2-Trichloroethane

CAS 79-00-5

Recorded function: Chlorinated intermediate and solvent for rubber, oils, waxes and resins

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

1,2-Hexanediol

CAS 6920-22-5

Recorded function: Cosmetic solvent, skin-conditioning and moisturizing ingredient; product-protection enhancer

1,2-Hexanediol is a diol with adjacent hydroxyl groups. Supplier-described cosmetic functions include moisturizing, solubilizing and product-protection enhancement. Skin-care and hair-care applications depend on the grade and finished formulation. The supplied FUJIFILM Wako reagent is for research use only, separate from cosmetic supplier grades.

1,2,3-Trimethylbenzene

CAS 526-73-8

Recorded function: 1,2,3-Trimethylbenzene is used as a solvent and chemical-synthesis intermediate

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene

CAS 95-63-6

Recorded function: 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, or pseudocumene, is a solvent and intermediate for trimellitic anhydride, dyes and other fine chemicals

General documented solvent/carrier function. Preserve application, supplier-grade, mixture/isomer and laboratory-use qualifications; no paint compatibility or present legal-use authorization is inferred.

Supplier-reported greener choice

1,3-Butanediol

CAS 107-88-0

Recorded function: Solvent; grade-specific formulation functions not listed.

Supplier-grade/general function only; this does not establish compatibility with a starter formula, lower hazard, an EcoSafe rating or a verified environmental improvement.

1,3-Butanediol

CAS 107-88-0

Recorded function: Humectant and extraction solvent; resin and polyurethane intermediate

OXEA describes Cosmetic Quality1,3-BG as a humectant and a solvent for plant extracts and cosmetic pre-formulations. Daicel separately lists1,3-butylene glycol in cosmetic ingredients, urethane raw materials and resin plasticizers. Application suitability depends on grade and documentation.
