Product Description

Product Description

C16 Alcohol (Cetyl Alcohol) CAS 112-92-5|Hexadecan-1-Ol for Cosmetics
Cetyl Alcohol (CAS 112-92-5), also known as C16 Alcohol or Hexadecan-1-ol, is a long-chain saturated fatty alcohol. It exists as white waxy flakes at room temperature, with high purity (typically ≥98%) and mild properties. Its unique molecular structure gives it excellent emulsifying, thickening, and stabilizing capabilities, making it a core raw material in cosmetics, personal careand industrial fields. It is non-irritating to human skin, safe for daily use, and compatible with most organic ingredients.

Basic Information

  • CAS Number : 112-92-5
  • EINECS Number : 203-920-7
  • Other Names : Cetyl alcohol; C16 Alcohol; Hexadecan-1-ol; 1-Hexadecanol
  • Molecular Formula : C16H34O
  • Molecular Weight : 242.44 g/mol
  • Appearance : White waxy solid, flaky or granular (room temperature)
  • Odor : Mild, characteristic fatty alcohol odor (odorless in high-purity grades)
  • Solubility : Insoluble in water; soluble in ethanol, ether and most organic solvents; melts into liquid at high temperatures (miscible with oils)

Applications

  1. Cosmetics & Personal Care :
    • Skin Care : Added to lotions, creams, and moisturizers as emulsifier/thickener-improves product texture, locks in moisture, and reduces greasiness.
    • Hair Care : Used in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to soften hair, reduce static, and enhance combability (forms a protective film on hair strands).
    • Oral Care : Small amounts in toothpaste to adjust consistency and improve foam stability.
  2. Industrial Field :
    • Coatings & Inks : Acts as a leveling agent and film-forming aid-improves coating smoothness and reduces cracking.
    • Lubricants : Raw material for synthetic lubricants (e.g., metalworking fluids) to reduce friction and wear.
    • Detergents : Added to laundry detergents as a softener and anti-redeposition agent-prevents dirt from reattaching to fabrics. C16 Alcohol (Cetyl Alcohol) CAS 112-92-5|Hexadecan-1-Ol for Cosmetics
