Cetostearyl Alcohol CAS 67762-27-0 is one kind of alcohol, a white crystalline, sparingly insoluble in water. It mianly consists of carbon 18 alcohol and carbon 16 alcohol. The regular specification of it includes C16:C18=7:3, C16:C18=3:7 and C16:C18=5:5. It is especially suitable for the production of cosmetics such as cream and emulsion, etc. It can also be directly used for W/O emulsifier paste and paste base in medical industry. It also works as an important raw material of textile auxiliaries.
