2-Hexadecyl-1-octadecanol

Description:
2-Hexadecyl-1-octadecanol, also known by its CAS number 69472-23-7, is a long-chain fatty alcohol characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the presence of long hydrocarbon chains. This compound features a hexadecyl group (16 carbon atoms) attached to the second carbon of an octadecanol backbone (18 carbon atoms), resulting in a structure that exhibits both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. It is typically a waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This substance is often utilized in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, and as an emulsifier or thickening agent in formulations. Its long-chain structure contributes to its ability to enhance the texture and stability of products, making it valuable in the formulation of creams and lotions. Additionally, due to its fatty alcohol nature, it may also possess moisturizing properties, contributing to skin hydration. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
