Alcohol Ester-16, also known as hexadecyl alcohol or cetyl alcohol, is a high-purity long-chain fatty alcohol with the chemical formula C₁₆H₃₄O. It appears as a white, waxy solid with excellent thickening, emulsifying, and lubricating properties. Due to its stable structure and wide compatibility with oils, surfactants, polymers and natural film forming agents, Alcohol Ester-16 is widely used in cosmetics, skincare products, plastics processing, textile auxiliaries, and various industrial formulations. Topfine supplies premium-grade Alcohol Ester-16 suitable for large-scale production and global wholesale demand.
