Description

Alcohol C-12 is a high-purity, synthetic fatty alcohol derived from natural feedstocks, serving as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient. Its consistent quality and predictable chemical behavior make it a critical component for formulators seeking reliable performance and supply chain stability. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial lubricants sectors, where it acts as an emollient, thickener, and coupling agent.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary use as an emollient, viscosity modifier, and opacifying agent in creams, lotions, and deodorant sticks.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a co-emulsifier and consistency regulator in topical ointments and creams.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Functions as a surfactant intermediate and foam control agent in detergent formulations.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a synthetic base fluid and additive component for enhanced lubricity and stability.
• Plasticizers & Polymer Additives: Used in the synthesis of esters that serve as plasticizers and stabilizers for PVC and other polymers.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber and leather treatment processes.
