Cetyl alcohol /1-Hexadecanol is a high-grade saturated fatty alcohol with stable properties and high chemical inertness at room temperature, and it is not easily oxidized. Containing a single hydroxyl group in the molecule, it can undergo typical alcohol reactions such as esterification and etherification. It is insoluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. It features good heat resistance and tends to solidify at low temperatures. It remains stable in weak acid and weak alkaline environments but can be oxidized and decomposed under the action of strong oxidants. Non-corrosive and low-irritating, it can be stored hermetically at room temperature.
