Dodecyl alcohol(CAT: M067342), also known as lauryl alcohol, is a saturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₆O. It appears as a colorless to white, waxy solid or oily liquid with a faint odor. Widely used as an intermediate in surfactant, detergent, and emulsifier production, it plays a crucial role in the formulation of personal care products, household cleaners, and industrial additives. Its amphiphilic nature enables effective emulsification, wetting, and solubilization properties. In research and manufacturing, dodecyl alcohol also serves as a lubricant component, plasticizer, and precursor to sulfate and ethoxylate derivatives, making it a versatile ingredient across multiple chemical industries.
