[Oleyl Alcohol Supply and Sales] Do you know the solubility and surface activity of oleyl alcohol?

Oleyl alcohol is an unsaturated alcohol, transparent and colorless It is an oily body that is slightly yellow, odorless, and has a slight special smell. It is used as a raw material for organic synthesis and special surfactants. It can be used to produce oil additives, cold-resistant auxiliary plasticizers, lubricants and solvents, etc.

The following is an introduction to the solubility and surface activity of oleyl alcohol:

The solubility of oleyl alcohol: soluble in ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and ether etc., and because there are lipophilic long-chain hydrocarbon groups in the molecule, it can be combined with fatty acids, fatty alcohols, sterols, monohydric alcohol esters, polyhydric alcohol esters, sterol esters, and chain hydrocarbons, whether natural or synthetic. , side chain hydrocarbons, cyclic hydrocarbons, silicones and other commonly used grease and wax components in cosmetics and derivative components of some of them are all compatible or miscible with each other, but are insoluble in water.

Surface activity of oleyl alcohol: Although oleyl alcohol is insoluble in water, it is hydrophilic. This is because its molecules contain unsaturated polar double bonds and hydroxyl groups. Therefore, oleyl alcohol can be used as the main emulsifying component of W/O cosmetic base and the secondary emulsifying component of O/W cosmetic base.
