Hexadecyl chloride

1-Chlorohexadecane_4860-03-1_High Purity 1-Chlorohexadecane_Surfactant Raw Material

Core Product Parameters:

1-Chlorohexadecane, also known as cetyl chloride, CAS: 4860-03-1, molecular formula C16H33Cl, molecular weight 260.88. This product is a white to off-white waxy solid at room temperature (melting point 17-19°C) and is an important long-chain halogenated alkane. Due to the chlorine atom attached to a primary carbon and its sixteen-carbon long-chain structure, it exhibits excellent surface activity and reactivity, making it widely used as a surfactant raw material and hexadecylating agent.

Specifications and Quality Control:

We provide high-purity 1-chlorohexadecane with a standard specification of ≥98.0% (GC). Through strict quality control, the product features low color, low moisture, and low impurity content. Each batch undergoes multiple tests including gas chromatography (GC) and melting point determination to ensure stable and reliable product quality, meeting the needs of various application scenarios.

Main Application Fields:

1-Chlorohexadecane is an important fine chemical intermediate, with its main applications including:

Surfactants: Used in the preparation of cationic surfactants (such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride)
