C14-16 alcohols

C14-16 Alcohols (CAS 68333-80-2), also supplied under the trade name Isalchem 145, are a mid-chain fatty alcohol blend derived from natural or synthetic feedstocks.

They function as emulsifiers, foam regulators, and co-surfactants across a broad range of personal care and industrial formulations. In personal care, they act as emulsion stabilizers and consistency agents.

These alcohols are used in creams, lotions, and conditioners, contributing to texture and product structure. Home care formulators incorporate them into liquid detergents and fabric softeners to control foam.

They improve surfactant system performance in various household applications. In industrial and institutional cleaning products, they support degreasing efficiency when blended with anionic or nonionic surfactant systems.

Textile and leather processing operations use them as emulsifiers in finishing baths. They also serve as lubricant components in fiber treatment formulations for industrial manufacturing processes.

C14-16 Alcohols are supplied as a waxy solid or flake form, typically requiring mild heating for handling. Standard grades include technical and cosmetic-grade specifications for diverse needs.

Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements suitable for personal care manufacturing. Supply is available in bulk bags and drum packaging, with tank truck quantities accessible for high-volume buyers.
