Description

Hentricontanol CAS NO 26444-39-3 is a high-purity, long-chain primary fatty alcohol with thirty-one carbon atoms. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and functional additive in the synthesis of high-performance surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers. It is particularly valuable for industries requiring materials with specific hydrophobic properties, chain length consistency, and chemical stability.

Application

• As a key raw material in the synthesis of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and cosmetic formulations.
• As a lubricant additive and viscosity modifier in specialty greases and synthetic lubricants.
• As a building block for producing wax esters and other long-chain derivatives used in coatings and polishes.
• As a phase change material (PCM) or a component in thermal energy storage systems due to its high melting point.
• In pharmaceutical and cosmetic research as a penetration enhancer or emollient in topical formulations.
• As a standard or reference compound in analytical chemistry and chromatography.
• In the production of plasticizers and stabilizers for polymers requiring enhanced hydrophobic character.
