Technical Details & Test Data
Melting points of ISOFOL alcohols in comparison with linear NACOL alcohols
The ISOFOL alcohols C12 to C24 are liquid at ambient temperature, whereas corresponding linear and saturated alcohols are solid. While oleyl alcohol starts to solidify at approx. 10 °C, ISOFOL alcohol of similar chain lengths remains liquid
ISOFOL alcohol viscosity vs temperature
The temperature-dependant kinematic viscosity of ISOFOL alcohols is shown in Figure
