Fatty Alcohols

Fatty Alcohols

Saturated or unsaturated fatty alcohols obtained by hydrogenation of natural oils and fats, a key intermediate for surfactant manufacture. Available across the full C6-C22 chain (from hexanol to behenyl alcohol; C8 is n-octanol only, no 2-EH), plus regular blends 810/1214/1618. All grades can be customized.

Main Applications

Used in cosmetic emulsifiers, surfactant synthesis (SLES, APG), plastic additives and textile softeners.

* Blends 810/1214/1618 are standard grades. All fatty alcohols can be customized (carbon chain distribution, assay, colour, solidification point, etc.). Final specs are subject to contract.

Key Applications

  • C6-C10 short-chain alcohols (hexanol, octanol, decanol): mainly used as solvents, plasticizer intermediates and fragrance synthesis feedstock
  • C12-C14 alcohols (lauryl, myristyl): primary feedstock for SLES, APG and primary amines
  • C16-C22 alcohols (cetyl, stearyl, behenyl): core ingredients for cosmetic emulsifiers, hair conditioners and textile softeners
