C16-18 Ceteary Alcohol of White Solide

C16-18 Ceteary Alcohol of White Solide is a C16-C18 fatty alcohol blend supplied as a white waxy flake solid. The material consists predominantly of cetyl and stearyl alcohols and is widely used as a functional raw material in cosmetic, personal-care, pharmaceutical, and specialty industrial formulations. It provides a combination of emollient, emulsion-stabilizing, viscosity-building, and structuring properties. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for creams, lotions, emulsions, hair conditioners, styling products, and other formulations requiring improved body, texture, stability, and sensory performance. The material can support both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsion systems and is valued for its ability to improve formulation consistency while providing a smooth and conditioned feel to skin and hair. The referenced technical specification controls appearance, colour, acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, water content, fatty-alcohol chain distribution, iodine value, solidification range, hydrocarbon content, and carbonyl number. Final suitability should be evaluated according to the intended application, required grade, supplier documentation, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Store in tightly closed and appropriately labeled containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Protect the material from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and contamination. Keep containers securely closed when the product is not in use and minimize unnecessary dust generation during handling. Follow appropriate workplace hygiene practices and the supplier-specific Safety Data Sheet. Storage, transportation, and handling requirements should comply with applicable local regulations and the technical and safety documentation supplied by the actual PBL supplier.
