What Is 1-Octadecanol?
1-Octadecanol (stearyl alcohol), CAS 112-92-5, C18H38O, molecular weight 270.49 g/mol, is a saturated C18 fatty alcohol and a white solid at 20°C. It is used as a lubricant and interfacial agent in drilling fluids, and as a consistency agent and co-emulsifier in industrial and personal-care formulations.
The specification requires active content ≥96%, with limits on colour, acid value, saponification value and iodine value, and a hydroxyl value of 200–220 mg KOH/g.
It is not regulated as dangerous goods; control dust and heat when melting. Personal-care and pharmaceutical uses need a grade qualified for that end use.
As a stearyl alcohol supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs it in 25 kg bags.
