Description

Alcohols, C20-22 is a defined blend of long-chain fatty alcohols, primarily eicosanol and docosanol. This high-purity mixture is valued for its excellent emollient properties, chemical stability, and role as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent performance and supply chain reliability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Key ingredient in creams, lotions, and ointments as an emollient and thickener, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a viscosity modifier and anti-wear additive in synthetic lubricants and industrial greases.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and plasticizers through ethoxylation, esterification, or sulfation reactions.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Employed as a softener and lubricant in fiber manufacturing and fabric finishing.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Utilized as an ointment base and release-modifying agent in topical drug delivery systems.
• Industrial Additives: Functions as a processing aid and dispersant in various polymer and coating formulations.
