1 of 24 products in this brand
Sasol Chemical SAFOL 23 Alcohol is a blend of C12 and C13 branched and linear alcohols. The branched isomers in SAFOL 23 Alcohol are unique in that the branch is located mid-chain. This leaves the primary alcohol unobstructed for further derivatization. SAFOL 23 Alcohol is a synthetic alcohol produced from olefins obtained using the novel Fischer-Tropsch process. Due to its saturation, SAFOL 23 Alcohol demonstrates excellent oxidation and color stability. SAFOL 23 Alcohol's unique structure provides advantageous solubility and solvency.
