Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 - High-Purity Vegetable-Derived C12 Fatty Alcohol

Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 is a high-purity saturated C12 fatty alcohol chemically known as Dodecan-1-ol. It has CAS number 112-53-8, EC number 203-982-0, molecular formula C₁₂H₂₆O and molecular weight approximately 186.33 g/mol.

Commercial Lauryl Alcohol can be produced from vegetable-oil-derived lauric feedstocks, particularly palm-kernel and coconut-derived materials. Mars Oleochemicals specifies a C12 content of at least 99% for its Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 grade and identifies vegetable feedstocks including palm-kernel and coconut oils.

Lauryl Alcohol is an important intermediate for producing surfactants and detergent ingredients. Its C12 chain is particularly useful in sulfate, ethoxylate and amine chemistry, supporting household cleaning, personal-care and industrial chemical formulations. Mars Oleochemicals Malaysia

In cosmetics, Lauryl Alcohol can provide emollient, emulsion-stabilizing, emulsifying and viscosity-controlling functionality. Beyond personal care, it is useful in detergents, lubricants, amine derivatives, fabric-care chemistry and other specialty industrial applications.
