Fatty alcohol C8-10

Fatty alcohols are emulsifiers and emollients
to make skin smoother and prevent moisture loss. Identical fatty esters are used
to improve rub-out of formulas and to control viscosity and dispersion characteristics
in cosmetics, personal care products and pharmaceutical ingredients.

As chemical intermediates, the primary use of fatty alcohols are as raw material
for the production of fatty sulfate salts and alcohol ethoxylates for foaming and
cleaning purposes in the field of detergent industry. Chemical reactions of primary
alcohols include esterifications, ethoxylation, sulfation, oxidation and
many other reactions.
