Product Description

• Fatty alcohols are mainly used in the production of detergents and surfactants.
• They are components also of cosmetics, foods, and as industrial solvents.
• Due to their amphipathic nature, fatty alcohols behave as.

• Used in cosmetic products and moisturizers
• Packaging: Customized
• Perfumery, cosmetics, intermediate, surface active agents, lubricants, resins, antifoam agent
• used in USP ointments.

Method of Manufacturing:
Stearyl Alcohol is prepared commercially via Ziegler aluminum alkyl hydrolysis or the catalytic, high-pressure hydrogenation of stearyl acid, followed by filtration and distillation.

First Aid:
Eye First Aid- First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Ingestion First Aid- Rinse mouth.

Fire Fighting Procedures: To fight fire use foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.

Spillage Disposal: Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Disposal Methods: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

Hazard Classes and Categories: 

Eye Irrit. 2 (59.88%)
Aquatic Acute 1 (39.52%)
Aquatic Chronic 1 (19.76%)
Aquatic Chronic 2 (39.97%)
Aquatic Chronic 3 (39.67%)

Bionecessity: Stearyl alcohol is found naturally in various mammalian tissues. It is used in the biosynthesis of lipids and other naturally occurring cellular constituents and enters metabolic pathways for energy production.
Several studies indicate that 1-octadecanol is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The entry of 14C-octadecanol into the thoracic lymph duct of the Sprague-Dawley rat was reported. Lymph flows and blood were monitored for radioactivity in different intervals following dosing. Intestinal radioactivity was determined in the intestinal homogenate which showed the percent absorbed radioactivity in the lymph was 56.6 +/- 14.0.
