- ALFOL® 610 Alcohol can be used as a high purity feedstock for all of the chemical reactions in which primary alcohols are routinely employed.
- ALFOL® 610 Alcohol can be esterified, ethoxylated, propoxylated, sulfated, oxidized, etc.
- In addition, ALFOL® 610 Alcohol can be used directly in numerous personal care and technical formulations.
- Sasol’s ALFOL® Alcohols are physically and chemically equivalent to corresponding oleochemicalbased alcohols derived from such sources as coconut oil or palm oil.
