Products Description of CETEARYL ALCOHOL CAS#8005-44-5
Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of natural or synthetic fatty alcohols, primarily consisting of cetyl alcohol (C16H33OH) and stearyl alcohol (C18H37OH). The ratio of these two components typically ranges from 3:7 to 7:3, with minor variations depending on the production process. It presents as a white to slightly yellow waxy solid, in flake or granular form, featuring a hard texture and a faint fatty odor. Insoluble in water, it is readily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform, and can fully dissolve in hot oils.
