Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- C12-14 Fatty Alcohol
- Dodecanol Tetradecanol Blend
- LM Alcohol
Lauryl myristyl alcohol is a blended C12-C14 fatty alcohol for buyers sourcing a defined cut from a supplier in Malaysia. It combines lauryl alcohol, also called 1-dodecanol, with myristyl alcohol, also called 1-tetradecanol, but the blend has no single CAS number.
Commercial requirements are normally defined by C12:C14 composition, hydroxyl value, iodine value and physical form. The material may be specified as a white waxy solid or flakes, becoming a clear liquid above its melting point, so the required cut and handling form should be stated in the enquiry.
It is used as a fatty alcohol intermediate for detergent and surfactant manufacture, including downstream sodium lauryl sulphate and lauryl ether sulphate production. Other applications include personal care emulsifier and emollient systems, lubricant and plasticiser intermediates, and textile auxiliaries.
Lauryl myristyl alcohol is distinct from pure lauryl alcohol, pure myristyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol and the downstream sulphate surfactants. Send the required composition, specification, quantity and delivery location for a quotation; packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation.
