The chemical substance known as "Alcohols, C16-18" with the CAS number 8005-44-5 is a mixture of long-chain fatty alcohols derived from natural sources, typically from the hydrogenation of fatty acids or fats. These alcohols generally consist of straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons with a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which imparts hydrophilic properties while maintaining hydrophobic characteristics due to their long carbon chains. They are typically colorless, viscous liquids or waxy solids at room temperature, with a mild odor. These alcohols are commonly used in various applications, including as surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricants in personal care products, cosmetics, and industrial formulations. They exhibit good biodegradability and are considered less toxic compared to shorter-chain alcohols. Additionally, they can serve as intermediates in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Their physical and chemical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, can vary depending on the specific chain length and branching of the alcohols present in the mixture.
