Description

Alcohols, C12-15 is a defined mixture of synthetic, linear, primary fatty alcohols, primarily dodecanol (C12), tridecanol (C13), tetradecanol (C14), and pentadecanol (C15). This blend is valued for its excellent surfactant properties, biodegradability, and versatility as a key chemical intermediate. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking consistent quality and reliable supply.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Manufacturing: Primary feedstock for the production of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol sulfates, and other anionic and nonionic surfactants used in liquid detergents, shampoos, and industrial cleaners.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emollient, thickener, and opacifying agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a base fluid or additive in synthetic lubricants, metal rolling oils, and corrosion inhibitors due to its good lubricity and stability.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Employed as a co-monomer or processing aid in the production of polymers and as a secondary plasticizer for PVC and other resins.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber production and leather finishing.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of esters, ethers, and other specialty chemicals across various industrial applications.
