Laurel/myristyl alcohol is mainly used as a chemical intermediate in the production of detergents, washing agents, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Other uses of fatty alcohols include as an emollient, emulsifier, or viscosity modifier in lubricants, plastics, and rubber, textiles auxiliaries, paints and varnishes, print colors, metalworking |

---|---|---|
Lauryl myristyl alcohol 1214 is a type of fatty alcohol which is a form of the combination of C12 and C14 that is lauryl and myristyl. It is a colorless, water-insoluble, and readily biodegradable liquid and decomposes when subjected to excessive heat. The shelf life of Laurel myristyl alcohol is one year from its date of manufacturing. Lauryl myristyl alcohol 1214 can be derived from both organic and synthetic sources. The organic sources of fatty alcohols have largely been various vegetable oils and these remain a large-scale feedstock. The alcohols are obtained from the triglycerides (fatty acid triesters), which form the bulk of the oil. The process involves the transesterification of the triglycerides to give methyl esters which are then hydrogenated to give the fatty alcohols. Midcut alcohols are obtained from coconut oil (C12–C14) or palm kernel oil (C16–C18). It typically consists of C12 65%-75% and C14 21%-28%. |
