Description

1-Octadecanol+1-Hexadecanol+1-Eicosanol is a high-purity, blended fatty alcohol mixture primarily composed of stearyl (C18), cetyl (C16), and arachidyl (C20) alcohols. This specific blend is engineered to deliver consistent melting behavior, texture, and emollient properties, making it a critical raw material for formulators. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable performance in emollients, thickeners, and stabilizers. The product, identified by CAS No. 61811-57-2, offers a versatile foundation for high-quality finished products.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emollient, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and deodorant sticks.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments & Creams: Used as a consistency regulator and stabilizer in topical drug delivery systems and dermatological preparations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a friction modifier and anti-wear additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricant formulations.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Functions as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent for synthetic fibers and yarns.
• Plastic & Polymer Additive: Employed as an internal and external lubricant and release agent in polymer processing (e.g., PVC, polyolefins).
• Chemical Intermediate: A key starting material for the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and plasticizers via ethoxylation or esterification.
