Application Fields
1. Plastic Industry: Cetearyl alcohol can be used as an additive in plastics to improve fluidity and processing performance.
2. Coatings and Inks: In coatings and inks, cetearyl alcohol acts as a dispersant and stabilizer to enhance their properties.
3. Candle Industry: Due to its waxy nature, cetearyl alcohol is sometimes used in candle making.
4. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: In topical formulations, cetearyl alcohol increases the viscosity of both w/o and o/w emulsions. It stabilizes emulsions and has a co-emulsifying effect, thereby reducing the amount of surfactant needed to form a stable emulsion. Cetearyl alcohol is used in pharmaceuticals to slow the release of water-soluble drugs.
5. Daily Chemical Industry: In cosmetics and personal care products, cetearyl alcohol can be used to produce surfactants, such as平平加 (Pingpingjia), natural fatty alcohol ethoxylates, etc.
