Alcohols, C14-22 and C16-22-unsatd. - Introduction
Alcohols, C14-22 and C16-22-unsatd are a class of unsaturated fatty Alcohols with carbon chain lengths of C14-22 or C16-22. The following is a description of the properties, use, preparation and safety information of these compounds:
Nature:
1. Appearance: generally colorless liquid.
2. Properties: good solubility, surface activity and foaming properties.
3. pH value: stable under neutral conditions (pH about 7).
Use:
1. They are widely used in personal care products and household cleaners, such as hand sanitizer, shampoo, shower gel, detergent, etc.
2. In cosmetics, they can be used as emulsifiers, thickeners and preservatives.
They can also be used in industrial fields, such as the production of paints, coatings and plastics.
Preparation Method:
1. A common preparation method is to prepare by hydrodeacidification of fatty acid esters. By reacting the fatty acid ester with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, the corresponding alcohol can be obtained.
2. At the same time, it can also be obtained by reacting an alcohol with an etherifying agent by a dehydrated alcohol etherification reaction.
Safety Information:
1. These substances generally belong to low toxicity substances, in the normal use of the conditions of the human body is relatively safe.
2. However, for any chemical substance, regulations for safe handling and storage should be followed.
3. When using or handling these substances, avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, and wear protective gloves and goggles if necessary.
4. If you accidentally take or enter your eyes, rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical help when needed.
