Sasol North America Fatty Alcohol Products
|
|
Sasol has the most diversified portfolio of linear fatty alcohols
between C4 and C22+. As the leading supplier of fatty alcohols to
the chemical industry, there are many applications for a wide variety
of products, including metalworking compounds, flavors and
fragrances, personal care products, cosmetics, plastic additives,
detergents and cleaners. Sasol also uses fatty alcohols in its own
operations to make surfactants that serve as detergent raw materials
and to make specialty plasticizers.
Fatty alcohols from Sasol meet the highest environmental
standards. Their chemical structure makes them non-toxic and
completely biodegradable. And as they are easily converted into
derivatives, fatty alcohols are in great demand as chemical
intermediates.
One of Sasol's particular strengths lies in the unique
capabilities of its global manufacturing facilities. We produce
linear and semi-linear fatty alcohols from petrochemical feedstocks
and oleochemical raw materials. Sasol enhances its alcohol product
portfolio by also producing mono branched oxo-alcohols as well as
defined mono-branched Guerbet alcohols. This combination of
manufacturing processes provides a high degree of flexibility and
helps us to meet the customers' demand for tailor-made products.
Sasol North America produces ALFOL fatty alcohols at their Lake Charles,
LA facility. ALFOL alcohols are linear, even carbon chain length,
primary alcohols. They are available in single cut and custom
blends. Since most ALFOL alcohols are virtually interchangeable
with corresponding NACOL, NAFOL and LINCOL products produced in
Europe, Sasol can ship from the most favorable logistics location
to our global customers.
