Description

Heneicosanol CAS NO 15594-90-8 is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol with 21 carbon atoms, serving as a critical intermediate and functional additive in advanced chemical synthesis. Its defined linear structure provides consistent performance as a non-ionic surfactant precursor, emollient, and viscosity modifier. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and specialty polymer industries seeking reliable raw materials for high-value formulations.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and cosmetic applications.
• As an emollient and viscosity control agent in premium skin care creams, lotions, and ointments.
• As a lubricant additive and synthetic base oil component to enhance film strength and thermal stability.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in specialty polymer and resin formulations.
• As a chemical building block for producing esters, ethers, and other derivatives with tailored properties.
• In academic and industrial research as a standard or reagent for studying long-chain alcohol behavior.
