1. C12-14 Fatty Alcohol active ingredient ≥99%, with stable surface activity and carbon chain distribution.
2. fatty alcohol c12 14 is a colorless, transparent and oily substance, its very low color gives little effect when white creams, toiletries, transparent cleaning products use it. It will keep the original look and appearance of the product.
3. c12 14 alcohol content is precisely measured, moisture ≤0.20%, it helps customers to avoid side-reactions during their operations of esterification, etherification, sulfation.
For manufacturers of shampoos, shower gels, laundry detergents, and emulsifiers, the carbon chain composition of fatty alcohols directly affects foaming performance, emulsifying ability, and product viscosity. Large fluctuations in the C12/C14 ratio or high impurity content can easily lead to decreased foaming height, insufficient emulsion stability, and even problems such as layering and turbidity, increasing the frequency of formula adjustments and production costs.
Our lauryl myristol strictly controls the C12 content to 70%–75% and the C14 content to 24%–30%, ensuring a stable carbon chain composition. A stable raw material composition helps improve the emulsifying properties and foaming stability of subsequent surfactants, reducing the number of formulation adjustments by approximately 25%. With the use of this feature, customers will be able to improve first-pass yield, and at the same time cut reworked and quality risks generated by raw material variations.

Upstream Laboratory and Technical Support
Laurethol is mainly used in cosmetics, personal care products, surfactants, textile auxiliaries, and fine chemicals, requiring high standards for carbon chain composition, hydroxyl value, acid value, and color. We have established a comprehensive fatty alcohol testing and quality control system, relying on upstream cooperative production bases and CNAS-accredited laboratories. Our laboratories are equipped with advanced testing equipment such as gas chromatographs (GC), GC-MS, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), automatic potentiometric titrators, and colorimeters, enabling precise analysis of the product's C12/C14 composition ratio, hydroxyl value, acid value, moisture content, and trace impurities. For the daily chemical and cosmetic industries, we also verify the product's emulsifying properties, wetting properties, and reactivity to ensure suitability for the production of AES, AEO, and fatty alcohol ether sulfate series products.
Client Case Study
A professional manufacturer of shampoos and shower gels discovered fluctuations in emulsion stability caused by different batches of fatty alcohol raw materials during production. This resulted in slight stratification in some products after storage, impacting product quality and customer experience. After using our lauryl myristyl alcohol, thanks to its stable C12/C14 carbon chain composition and strictly controlled acid value and moisture content, the client's product emulsion stability significantly improved. Formula adjustments were reduced by approximately 30%, the first-pass yield increased by approximately 12%, and production efficiency improved by approximately 15%, effectively reducing quality management costs.
