Dodecanol is an organic compound that belongs to the family of fatty alcohols and has extensive applications in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumery, textiles, and petrochemicals. It is used as an intermediate in the production of its derivative salts, such as its n-dodecyl sulfate and ethoxylates. It is used as a component in the formulation of surfactants, lubricants, and different types of oil. Dodecanol is employed in the preparation of cosmetics and personal care products. It also provides emollient properties and is used in personal care products, such as moisturizers, etc. It is considered a flavoring agent and is included as an additive in the food and perfumery industries. It often helps in the formation of monolithic polymer varieties and helps in the production of polymers.

The market of Dodecanol is strengthened by its demand in industries that cover different sectors. Its application as an oily chemical liquid in the production of useful derivatives helps in increasing its demand in the chemical industry. Its utilization in the production of monolithic polymers fuels its demand in the polymer sector. Its usage in the food and cosmetics industry as a flavoring agent and emollient, respectively, contributes to increasing demand in the global market. Overall, industrial Dodecanol procurement is influenced by the shifts observed in its demand in chemical, polymer, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries.

Raw Material for Dodecanol Production

According to the Dodecanol manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Dodecanol include Coconut Oil-Hydrogen-Metal Catalyst.

Manufacturing Process of Dodecanol

The extensive Dodecanol production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Coconut Oil, Hydrogen, and Metal Catalyst: The manufacturing process of Dodecanol involves a hydrogenation process. In this process, coconut oil is hydrogenated using hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst such as palladium, nickel, or platinum. This process converts unsaturated fatty acids into the saturated alcohol forming Dodecanol.

Dodecanol is a wax-like chemical liquid that has a molecular formula of C12H26O and a molecular weight of around 186.3342 g/mol. It shows poor solubility in water but is soluble in different organic solvents, including mineral oils, propylene glycol, and ethanol. It also shows solubility in ether and is slightly soluble in benzene. Its melting point is around 24 °C, and it has a boiling point of 259 °C. Its density is 0.83 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 °C with an autoignition temperature measuring approximately 250 °C. On heating, it undergoes decomposition while emitting acrid smoke into the air.
