Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 - Uses, Benefits & Applications

Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 is a high-purity C12 fatty alcohol chemically known as Dodecan-1-ol or 1-Dodecanol, with the synonym Dodecyl Alcohol. It has the chemical formula C12H26O and CAS number 112-53-8. The Mars Oleochemicals product data identifies vegetable-oil feedstocks including palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil.

One of the most important uses of Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 is as a raw material or intermediate for manufacturing surfactants and detergent ingredients. Its C12 carbon-chain profile makes it particularly valuable in the production of anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactant systems used across household cleaning, personal care and industrial formulations.

Lauryl Alcohol C12-99 is also used as a chemical intermediate in the production of tertiary amines and related downstream derivatives. Such derivatives can be incorporated into fabric softeners, cleaning formulations and specialty industrial products. Lauryl Alcohol may additionally serve as a starting material or formulation component for certain metalworking lubricant systems and specialty chemical applications.
