Uses & Applications
Fatty alcohols have many uses in today’s manufacturing facilities. They are often employed as a chemical intermediate when producing surfactants, detergents and esters used in cleaning products. As well, they possess natural foaming stabilizing and amphipathic properties, adding to their usefulness as a detergent or soap. Other uses of fatty alcohols include as an emollient, emulsifier or viscosity modifier in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as in lubricants and greases. They can also be used to process textiles.
