Fatty Alcohol Product Line
ChemCeed offers a line of high purity fatty alcohols with chain lengths ranging from C6 to C10. These linear alcohols are insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohols, ether and benzene. With both domestic and imported sources, ChemCeed offers petrochemical-based as well as naturally derived fatty alcohols. These alcohols have a variety of applications such as use in the production of phthalate, trimellitate, and adipate ester plasticizers, as well as use as a surfactant in household cleaning, personal care products, oilfield and industrial processes, and applications in production of lubricants, metal working fluids, and industrial lubes and greases.
Springing into April
Feedstocks are once again on the rise and product availability continues to be snug for many items as we enter April. Several amines, ketones and azoles are in high demand as the month begins. The end of March shows signs that spot availability for these products may be difficult this month. Several alcohols appear to have their problems in March but ChemCeed’s forecast sees improvement as the month progresses. Indications from the Asia market are that castor derivative may see yet additional upward price adjustment as worldwide availability begin to tighten. ChemCeed continues our efforts to strengthen its position in this market and many others. Contact us to find out how ChemCeed can help you with products you need.
