Lauryl alcohol Myristyl

Product Description
Information: Fatty alcohols can be natural, derived from plant-based oils like palm or coconut, or they can be synthetic. They act as emulsifiers, emollients, viscosity controllers and dispersants. They function as chemical intermediates, most often used in surfactants to enhance foaming and cleaning properties in detergents and cleaners. The chemical reactions of primary alcohols include esterification, sulfonation and ethoxylation. Like their fatty acid counterparts, they come in a variety of carbon chain lengths. Acme-Hardesty can help you with veg-based Caprylic, Capric, Lauryl, Lauryl Myristyl, Cetearyl, Cetyl and Stearyl

Application
After fatting,hydrogenating and fractional distilltion, the fatty alcoholcan be used in the indutry of cosmetics, plastics,leather ,textile and synthetic detergent.
Benefit:
Its balanced surfactant properties and good dermatological compatibility make it eminently suited for use as a basic surfactant in mild cleansing preparations.
