properties | The alkyl C16-18 alcohol shall be a white granular or flaky solid with a specific odor. Do not dissolve in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents, with the general nature of alcohols. |
Source | The Eighty-six alcohol series is prepared by reducing suitable fatty acids from plant or animal sources, it can also be produced directly from hydrocarbons. |
function | lubricant; Emulsifier; Tackifier. This product can be used in cosmetics and topical preparations. In a topical formulation, eighteen-hexanol increases the viscosity of the w/o and o/w emulsions. It stabilizes the emulsion and has a co-emulsifying effect, thereby reducing the amount of surfactant required to form a stable emulsion. Eighty-six alcohols are also used in the preparation of non-aqueous creams and lipsticks. It has been reported that eighty-six alcohols can be used to reduce the release of water-soluble drugs. In combination with a surfactant, it can form emulsions with complex microstructures including liquid crystals, plate-like structures, and gel phases. |
Use | C16-18 alcohol is obtained by esterification, hydrogenation and fractionation of natural oils as raw materials, leather, textile, synthetic detergent and other industries are suitable for all kinds of cosmetics, as a matrix, especially suitable for cream and emulsion; In medicine, can be directly used for W/O emulsifier paste, ointment matrix, etc, hair care, skin care. It is also used as a raw material for Textile Auxiliaries in industry. C16-18 alcohol is an oil and fat chemical raw material, which is mainly composed of C- hexanol and C- hexanol. There are three main ratios of 16-18 alcohols currently on the market: C16:C18 = 7:3, C16:C18 = 3:7 and C16:C18 = 5:5. C16:C18 = 3:7 is the most widely used. |
Application | can be used to prepare a makeup removal mask, using water as solvent, glycerin, cetyl palmitate, PEG-7 olive oil ester, glyceryl coconut Ester, isodecane, polydimethylsiloxane, polysorbate -80, polysorbate -20 as emulsifier, cetostearyl alcohol isonanoate, cetostearyl alcohol polyether -20, cetostearyl alcohol, Glyceryl stearate, cetostearyl alcohol polyether -12 as emollient, phenoxyethanol, hydroxymethyl ester as preservative; Sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer as thickener; purslane extract skin conditioner and flavor preparation. |
safety | C16-18 alcohol is mainly used in topical preparations and topical cosmetics. This product is generally regarded as a non-toxic substances. Although it is essentially non-irritating, allergic reactions have also been reported with respect to sixteen-Eighty-six-alcohol, ten-six-alcohol and ten-eight-alcohol. |
