  • Product Details


TNJ Chemical is the largest supplier of Cetyl alcohol (C16 alcohol) from China with raw materials from Southeast Asia.


Cetyl alcohol (C16 alcohol), a white crystalline form, is insoluble in water

under ambient conditions, but it is soluble in solvents such as acetone, ethanol, ethyl ether, isopropyl alcohol and tricholorethylene. 


Cetyl alcohol, composed of C16(98% min), is a waxy white solid under ambient conditions with a mild soapy odor. Additionally, cetyl alcohol is one kind of inert chemical material whose chemical property is very stable in common conditions. Cetyl alcohol contains pure cetyl alcohol(C16) and mixed cetyl alcohol which contains three main kinds, i.e., C18:C16=5:5; C18:C16=7:3; C18:C16=3:7. However, the pure alcohol (C16) is the most widely used in the production.
