Fatty alcohols, also known as long-chain alcohols, are high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols derived mainly from natural fats and oils. These alcohols typically range from 4 to 26 carbon atoms, making them versatile in various applications. The most common fatty alcohols include lauryl alcohol (C12), myristyl alcohol (C14), palmityl alcohol (C16), and stearyl alcohol (C18).
Fatty alcohols are hydrophobic in nature and are characterized by their high melting points, which make them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
