Behenyl Alcohol

Behenyl Alcohol is used in various fields. In the chemical industry, it is a key raw material for making creams and lotions. Because of its excellent emulsifying, thickening and lubricating properties, it can make the texture of the product more delicate and stable, smooth and comfortable when applied, and add moisturizing protection to the skin. In pharmacies, it is also important. It can be used as a lubricant for tablets and capsules to help shape drugs, prevent sticking and punching, and ensure smooth production; and in some external preparations, it can improve drug dispersion and release, and enhance curative effect. In the textile industry, it is often used as a softener. After the fabric is treated, it feels soft, smooth, and has good drape. The quality and addition of the fabric are worth improving. In the leather industry, it can be used as a fatener. Gives leather a soft and plump feeling, enhances its waterproof and wear resistance, and prolongs the service life of leather products. In the candle manufacturing industry, beeswax alcohol can optimize the performance of candles. Make candles burn more stably, reduce black smoke, and improve combustion time and quality. To sum up, beeswax alcohol plays an indispensable role in many industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, leather, and candle manufacturing. It plays a key role in promoting the development and progress of various industries.

Beeswax alcohol, also known as 26 alcohols, has many unique properties. It is a white flake or powdery solid, stable at room temperature, and the melting range is between 81 and 83 ° C. This property makes it easy to form under specific temperature conditions, which is very critical in many process operations. Beeswax alcohol is almost insoluble in water, but soluble in hot ethanol, ether and other organic solvents. This solubility gives it the possibility of dispersion and fusion in different media. When preparing pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other products, it can be dispersed in suitable solvents according to the needs to achieve the ideal formulation effect. Furthermore, beeswax alcohol is chemically stable, has oxidation resistance, and is not easily oxidized and deteriorated in air. This characteristic allows it to maintain its own properties for a long time during storage and use, which is conducive to the long-term preservation of products made of it. Moreover, beeswax alcohol has certain lubricity and emulsification. Lubricity can make the product feel smooth when applied, and it is widely used in the manufacture of cosmetics and lubricants; emulsification helps it uniformly mix the oil phase and the water phase to form a stable emulsion system, which is indispensable in the preparation of emulsions and creams.

Behenyl Alcohol is widely used in cosmetics. This is a long-chain fatty alcohol with stable properties and diverse advantages, so it is often emphasized by cosmetic manufacturers. First, Behenyl Alcohol can be used as an emulsifier. In emulsions, creams and other emulsion cosmetics, the oil phase and water phase can be evenly mixed to avoid separation, so that the texture of the product is uniform, stable, delicate, and feels better. And it can increase the shelf life of the product and ensure its quality over time. Second, it has the effect of thickening. In cosmetic formulations, the viscosity of the product can be adjusted to make the texture meet the needs. If gel and cream products are thickened by cetearyl alcohol, it will be easy to apply and adhere to the skin. It will not be too thin and difficult to control, and it will not be too thick and difficult to use. Third, cetearyl alcohol can protect the skin. Applied to the skin, it can form a thin and soft protective film, help the skin retain water, disperse precipitation, and achieve the effect of moisturizing, making the skin moist but not dry. And because of its mildness, it is suitable for many skin types, especially for sensitive and weak skin, it can slow down external stimuli and protect the skin barrier. Fourth, this product can change the touch of the product. Cosmetics containing cetearyl alcohol are smooth and easy to push when applied, and the skin feels soft after use, without sticky discomfort, to improve the user's perception and experience. From this perspective, cetearyl alcohol has become an important raw material in the manufacture of cosmetics, with its emulsification, thickening, moisturizing and improving touch, making outstanding contributions to the production of high-quality cosmetics.

Behenyl Alcohol is also known as behenyl alcohol. The test of its safety is related to many aspects. Behenyl alcohol is commonly found in cosmetics and personal care products. In the context of external use, its safety is quite high. Because of its relatively stable chemical properties, it is not easy to react violently with other substances. In cosmetic formulations, it is often used as an emulsifier and thickener. Because it can help fuse oil and water, the texture of the product is uniform, and it can increase its consistency, making the application smoother. Many studies have shown that under normal dosage, behenyl alcohol rarely causes skin allergies or irritations. Most skin types can tolerate it. However, there are thousands of skin types in the world, and there are very few people with sensitive skin who may feel slightly uncomfortable with it. But this situation is extremely rare. Furthermore, in the food industry, beetle alcohol is occasionally used as an additive. Within the specified dose, it is not harmful to the human body. Due to its chemical structure, it is difficult for the human body to absorb and is mostly excreted from the body with feces. Therefore, it has no obvious adverse effects on the digestive system. In the industrial field, beetle alcohol is used as a lubricant, etc. Because of its good safety, it is also less dangerous to the health of operators. However, when using, it is still necessary to follow the corresponding safety procedures to avoid large amounts of inhalation or contact with sensitive parts such as skin and eyes. In conclusion, Behenyl Alcohol is generally safe, but when used, it is still advisable to follow the regulations to ensure safety.

The preparation process of Behenyl Alcohol is as follows: First, the oil is used as the starting point, and vegetable oils, such as rapeseed oil and palm oil, are often taken. The oil is hydrolyzed first, which is the method of saponification. The oil and a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, are placed in a kettle together, add an appropriate amount of water, heat it to a certain degree, and stir. The triglycerides in the oil then react with the base and hydrolyze into fatty acid salts and glycerol. Afterwards, the fatty salts are acidified to obtain free fatty acids. It is often applied with strong acids such as sulfuric acid, and the fatty acids are precipitated in the upper layer, and the glycerol and salts are stored in the lower layer, so it can be separated from the liquid. Furthermore, the obtained fatty acids are taken and hydrogenated. In the autoclave, add fatty acids and catalysts, such as copper-chromium catalysts, introduce hydrogen, control the temperature in a suitable area, and adjust the pressure to a suitable value. Under this condition, the carboxyl group of the fatty acid is reduced by hydrogen, converted into a hydroxyl group, and finally obtained beetle alcohol. Finally, the product needs to be refined. By distillation, the different boiling points of beetle alcohol and impurities are separated and purified to obtain pure beetle alcohol; or by crystallization, select a suitable solvent, dissolve beetle alcohol, cool down and crystallize, remove impurities, and also obtain pure products. In this way, through various processes, usable beetle alcohol can be obtained.
