Lauryl-Cetyl Alcohol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- C12-C16 Fatty Alcohol
Lauryl-cetyl alcohol supplier for personal-care, surfactant and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Lauryl-cetyl alcohol, also described as C12-C16 fatty alcohol, is a blend of lauryl and cetyl homologues supplied as a white to pale yellow waxy solid or flakes. It is specified by chain distribution, hydroxyl value and grade.
Cosmetic and technical grades can be requested. Cosmetic grade serves as an emollient and consistency factor in creams, lotions and hair care, while technical grade is an intermediate for surfactants, lubricants and textile auxiliaries.
Chain cut matters: C12-C16 material behaves differently from single-cut alcohols or C16-C18 blends, so the required homologue profile should be stated with the enquiry.
Send the cosmetic or technical grade, C12-C16 homologue profile, hydroxyl and acid value limits, source declaration if required, quantity and delivery location. The quotation confirms the offered form, packing, documents and delivery timing.
