Fractionated Fatty Alcohols are a group of high-purity, linear alcohols derived from natural resources such as palm kernel or coconut oil, as well as from the petrochemical industry. They are clear liquid products with a typical fatty alcohol odor and are used directly as foam stabilizers, detergency-boosting, and lubricant additives. The major application of fractionated fatty alcohols is in the manufacture of chemical intermediates and surfactants. These products are of 100% vegetable origin and are Kosher and HALAL certified.
Fractionated Fatty Alcohols are known for their excellent lubrication properties and are used as base oils and additives in the formulation of lubricants, reducing friction. In the cleaning industry, they act as surfactants, enhancing the cleaning efficacy of detergents and cleaning agents. The versatility and functional benefits of these alcohols find use in diverse applications such as coatings, adhesives, and more.
Quality control data for fractionated fatty alcohols typically includes specifications such as a clear liquid appearance, color (APHA) ranging from 0-10, acid value (mg KOH/g) from 0-0.1, saponification value (mg KOH/g) up to 0.5, hydroxyl value (mg KOH/g) between 351-356, and water content (%) from 0-0.3. They are available in various packaging forms, including drums and Isotanks, and are stable when stored in sealed containers in a cool and dry place for at least 2 years. Originating from Thailand, these alcohols are an important component in a wide range of industrial and consumer products due to their natural origin and environmental sustainability.
