Natural Fatty Alcohols are important oleochemical raw materials derived from renewable fatty feedstocks such as palm and palm-kernel-based materials. Commercial products are available in different chain-length distributions including C12, C14, C12-14, C16, C18 and mixed C16-18 grades.
Long-chain Fatty Alcohols such as Cetyl Alcohol and Stearyl Alcohol are widely used in creams, lotions, hair conditioners and cosmetic emulsions. Depending on formulation, they can contribute to structure, consistency, viscosity, texture and emulsion performance.
Palm-based fatty alcohols detergents, surfactants, cosmetics and industrial formulations worldwide.
Lauryl-rich and C12-14 Fatty Alcohol cuts are commercially important upstream feedstocks for alcohol ethoxylates, sulfates, ether sulfates and other surface-active chemicals. These derivatives are widely used across personal care, household cleaning and industrial detergents.
Buyers should specify the required carbon-chain profile, purity, analytical specification, physical form, quantity, packaging and application before purchasing. Reviewing the applicable COA, TDS and SDS helps confirm that a particular Fatty Alcohol grade meets technical and commercial requirements.
What are Natural Fatty Alcohols? Natural Fatty Alcohols are long-chain alcohols produced from renewable fatty feedstocks such as palm and palm-kernel-derived materials.
What are Fatty Alcohols used for? They are widely used in personal care, cosmetics, surfactants, detergents, lubricant systems and specialty chemical manufacturing.
What is C12 Fatty Alcohol? C12 Fatty Alcohol is commonly associated with Lauryl Alcohol and is widely used as an upstream surfactant raw material.
What is C14 Fatty Alcohol? C14 Fatty Alcohol is commonly associated with Myristyl Alcohol and serves personal-care and chemical applications.
What is C12-14 Fatty Alcohol? C12-14 is a mixed Lauryl-Myristyl Alcohol cut widely used in surfactant and detergent manufacturing.
What is C16 Fatty Alcohol? C16 is commonly associated with Cetyl Alcohol, widely used in creams, lotions and cosmetic formulations.
What is C18 Fatty Alcohol? C18 is commonly associated with Stearyl Alcohol and is used in personal-care and specialty formulations.
What is C16-18 Fatty Alcohol? C16-18 is a mixed Cetyl-Stearyl Alcohol grade available in different C16:C18 ratios.
Is Cetearyl Alcohol the same as C16-18 Fatty Alcohol? Cetearyl Alcohol generally refers to a mixture of Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohol, but the exact C16:C18 distribution should be confirmed from the product specification.
Are Fatty Alcohols drying to skin? Long-chain Fatty Alcohols such as Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohol are different from volatile short-chain alcohols such as ethanol and serve different formulation functions.
Are Fatty Alcohols used to make surfactants? Yes. Natural Fatty Alcohols are important upstream feedstocks for alcohol ethoxylates, sulfates, ether sulfates and other surfactants.
Are Fatty Alcohols used in SLES production? C12-14 Fatty Alcohol can serve as an upstream raw material within the production chain for SLES.
What Fatty Alcohol grades does Mars Oleochemicals handle? The portfolio includes C12-99, C14-98, C12-14, C16-98, C18-98/99 and multiple C16-18 blend ratios.
What determines Fatty Alcohol quality? Important parameters include alcohol content, Hydroxyl Value, Acid Value, Iodine Value, moisture, color and carbon-chain distribution.
What information should buyers provide for a quotation? Provide chain length, grade, purity, carbon-chain distribution, quantity, physical form, packaging, application and destination.
