Unsaturated
Fatty Alcohols Market: Overview
Fatty
alcohols are typically high molecular weight (HMW) compounds with
straight, long chains. The number of carbon atoms in fatty alcohols
can range from four to more than 30 in their chain. The source of
fatty alcohols (natural fats and oils) affects the length of their
chain. Common and important commercial fatty alcohols include oleyl
alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and lauryl alcohol.
Unsaturated
fatty alcohols are produced by reducing fatty acids or esters. Oleyl
alcohol is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with chemical formula
C18H36O. It is also known as octadecenol or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol. It
is synthesized by hydrogenation of oleic acid esters. It is used in
personal care and cosmetic products such as lotions, skin creams,
shampoos, and hair conditioners due to its properties such as
emulsifier, nonionic surfactant, thickener, and emollient. Other
unsaturated fatty alcohols include stearyl alcohol (octadecanol-1)
and cetyl alcohol (hexadecanol-1).

Unsaturated
fatty alcohols are employed in the manufacture of surfactants and
detergents. They are also used as ingredients in foods, industrial
solvents, and cosmetic products. Some of the cosmetic products where
unsaturated fatty alcohols are used include color cosmetics, hair
treatments, and skin care products. Their function as an industrial
solvent, lubricant, and corrosion inhibitor can be observed in
polymer processing and metal working applications. They also exhibit
properties of emollients, thickeners, and emulsifiers. Thus,
unsaturated fatty alcohols are used in personal care and food
industries.
Unsaturated
Fatty Alcohols Market Trends
Unsaturated
fatty alcohols have attained extensive commercial applications due to
their unusual surface active properties. Typically, there are two
commercial methods of preparing unsaturated fatty alcohols: sodium
reduction and hydrogenation. Unsaturated fatty alcohols can be
prepared from natural sources as well as synthesized chemically. They
are prepared from either acids, esters, or wax esters. Palm kernel
oil and coconut oil are used to produce unsaturated fatty alcohols
with 12 to 14 carbon atoms, while soybean oil, tallow, and palm oil
are employed as sources for alcohols with 16 to 18 carbon atoms.
Implementation
of strict environmental regulations regarding the synthesis process
of unsaturated fatty alcohols is driving the manufacturers to come up
with processes that are more efficient and cause less pollution.
Usually, two metal catalysts are employed in the synthesis process of
unsaturated fatty alcohols. The focus of the research in the last two
decades has been on the use of metals in group eight as catalysts,
with a second metal (for instance tin) operating as promoter.
Unsaturated
Fatty Alcohols Market Segmentation
Based
on chemical, the market for unsaturated fatty alcohols can be
segmented into oleyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, and
others.
In
terms of type, the unsaturated fatty alcohols market can be divided
into ethoxylates, phosphates, sulfates, ethersulfates, propoxylates,
and non-modified unsaturated fatty alcohols.
Based
on application, the market for unsaturated fatty alcohols can be
segregated into cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceuticals,
detergents, textile auxiliaries, polymer processing, metal working,
and others.
Unsaturated
Fatty Alcohols Market: Region-wise Outlook
Emerging
economies and changing lifestyles in Asia Pacific and Latin America
have been boosting the market for unsaturated fatty alcohols in
plasticizers application. Furthermore, increase in environmental
awareness and related legal stipulations have been the cause of
developments in the plasticizer market in several emerging economies
such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia.
North
America and Europe held higher share of the overall market for
unsaturated fatty alcohols, as these regions have reached the stage
of maturity with respect to the expansion of skin care and hair care
industries.
