Fatty Alcohol

Fatty alcohols, derived from natural fats and oils, are high molecular straight chain
primary alcohols. They include Capric(C10), lauryl (C12), MyrIstyl (C14), Cetyl
( or palmityl: C16), stearyl (C18), Oleyl (C18, unsaturated), and Linoleyl
(C18, polyunsaturated) alcohols. There are synthetic fatty alcohols equivalent physically
and chemically to natural alcohols obtained from oleochemical sources
such as coconut and palm kernel oil. 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. Their derivatives and end use applications include: 
1) Nonionic surfactants (ethoxylates and propoxylates) 
2) Anionic surfactants (alkyl sulfates and alkyl ethoxy sulfates) 
3) Chemical intermediates and polymerization modifiers (alkyl halides, alkyl 
    mercaptans)

Quaternary ammonium compounds for detergent sanitisers, softner for textiles, 
phase transfer catalyst and biocides: 
1) Antioxidants for plastics (alkyl thiopropionates and alkyl phosphites) 
2) Lubricant additives (metallic and thio alkylphosphates) 
3) Flavor and fragrance (aldehydes and ketones) 
4) PVC plasticizers (dialkyl Phthalates, adipates and trimellitates) 
5) Coatings and inks (acrylate and methacrylate esters) 
6) Water treatment (acrylate and methacrylate esters) 

Large amount of fatty alcohols are used as special solvents, fillers in plasticizer
and insulating materials for the building industry. Fatty alcohols are used as
ingredients in the industries of agricultural, foodstuff, metal processing, cosmetics,
lube additive, pharmaceutical, rubber, textile, perfume and flavouring
as well as synthetic detergent.
