> Applications
Cetyl Alcohol is evaluated by formulation, excipient-screening, cream, ointment, lotion, cosmetic, personal-care, and process-development teams that need a C16 fatty alcohol ingredient. PubChem compound record CID 2682, accessed in 2026 (n=212 synonyms), lists Cetyl Alcohol as C16H34O with molecular weight 242.44 g/mol and InChIKey BXWNKGSJHAJOGX-UHFFFAOYSA-N. Buyers should confirm assay, fatty alcohol profile, hydroxyl value, acid value, iodine value, melting range, documentation, and intended market requirements before order confirmation.
Fatty alcohol identity
Cetyl Alcohol is commonly considered where consistency, texture, waxy structure, emulsion body, or process handling must be evaluated. Typical specification discussions include appearance, GC assay, hydroxyl value, acid value, saponification value, iodine value, melting range, color, water, and selected impurities.
Composition and process fit
Different projects may require different assay ranges, physical forms, or melting behavior depending on processing route and target texture. Our team confirms the available grade and test items against the buyer’s application before quotation.
