  • Applications

    Erucyl alcohol, CAS 629-98-1, is a long-chain fatty alcohol (C22) primarily used as a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care, with emollient and viscosity-modifying properties. It also serves as a thickener and processing aid, helping to stabilize oil-water systems and enhance spreadability. In the polymers/plastics industry it is commonly used as a starting material to synthesize fatty esters (e.g., erucates) that act as processing aids, plasticizers, or lubricants for polymer formulations. In coatings and inks, it can function as a wax-like thickener or flow modifier to improve gloss and handling, and in adhesives as a plasticizer or additive to adjust rheology. It may also be used in cleaning formulations as a surfactant/solubilizer and compatibility aid in industrial products.
