Fatty alcohols were first made from cetacean, and the resulting mixed fatty alcohols were sulfonated and neutralized to sulfate, one of the earliestanionic detergent. Subsequently, coconut oil, palm oil and butter, which are abundant in sources, were developed and utilized as raw materials. The fatty acids resulting from the hydrolysis are again reduced to alcohols. Collectively referred to as natural fatty alcohols. After the development of the petrochemical industry, the production of fatty alcohols from petroleum products is called synthetic fatty alcohols. The more important methods for the production of fatty alcohols are high-pressure hydrogenation, Ziegler and oxo synthesis. If the hair mask contains unsaturated fatty alcohol, it can repair and nourish hair; the addition of fatty alcohol to lip gloss can enhance the smoothness of the product when used.

What are fatty alcohols

Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols having a chain of 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Fatty alcohols typically have an even number of carbon atoms and one hydroxyl group attached to the end of the carbon chain. One of the raw materials for detergent surfactants. The general formula is ROH. R of the detergent alcohol is generally a C12 to C18 hydrocarbon group. Such a high carbon fatty alcohol has an amphiphilic character, I .e., a hydrophobic group such as a hydrocarbon chain and a hydrophilic group such as a hydroxyl group in the molecule. However, due to the solubility in water is very low, it is necessary to add hydrophilic groups or convert hydroxyl groups into sulfuric acid groups, so that after the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value reaches the necessary value, the fatty alcohol derivative has enough hydrophilic groups to dissolve in water, and can become aggregates (micelles), the fatty alcohol derivative is the surfactant. For example, dodecanol is insoluble in water, but when it is changed into sodium lauryl sulfate, due to the addition of a sulfate group (-SO3-), the water solubility becomes better, and micelles can be formed in water, reaching a certain concentration, showing very good surface activity. It is the use of this characteristic, fatty alcohol as raw material, produced a variety of surfactants with various excellent properties.
