higher alcohols: Monohydric alcohols with more than two carbon atoms which occur in small amounts in fermented and distilled liquors.

OBS

Higher alcohols [include] propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, and decyl alcohols.

CONT

Alcohol’s are important solvents in finishing. If you see a chemical compound with the "ol" as a suffix its an alcohol. You can have a low molecular weight alcohol like methanol (CH3OH) or a high molecular weight alcohol like glycerol (CH2OH·CHOH·CH2OH). What they all have in common is what chemists call a functional group - in this case it’s the OH group - called a hydroxyl group. The number of hydroxyl groups determine whether it’s an alcohol or a polyol (containing more than one hydroxyl groups). The most common ones are what chemists call the lower alcohols.

CONT

The principle use [of ethylene oxide] is in the manufacture of ethylene glycol and higher alcohols which find important applications in automotive antifreeze, explosives, cellophane, polyester resins, synthetic fibers and rubbers, and hydraulic fluids. The higher alcohols such as di- and tri- are used as plasticizers, humectants, lubricants, and solvents.
