Description

Alcohols, C10-16 is a defined mixture of synthetic, linear primary alcohols, primarily in the C10 to C16 carbon chain range. This product is valued for its versatility as a key intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, plasticizers, and lubricant additives. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, agrochemical, and polymer industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Primary feedstock for the production of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol sulfates, and other anionic and nonionic surfactants used in liquid detergents, shampoos, and industrial cleaners.
• Plasticizer Alcohols: Used in the synthesis of esters (e.g., phthalates, adipates) that act as plasticizers for PVC and other polymers, imparting flexibility and durability.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Additives: Serves as a base for manufacturing synthetic lubricant base stocks and additives for metalworking fluids, offering good thermal stability and low volatility.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed as a co-solvent or intermediate in the production of emulsifiers and adjuvants for pesticides and herbicides.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the synthesis of emollients and pearlescent agents for creams, lotions, and other cosmetic formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for various chemical reactions, including oxidation to carboxylic acids or conversion to alkyl halides.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C10-16 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for composition, purity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as hydroxyl value, carbon chain distribution, and color are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and contamination.
