Even and linear alcohols, with a wide choice of carbon length, from C6 to C20+.Both the oleochemical and Ziegler versions are available, both as a single cut and as a blend of alcohols.

ISOFOL are chemically described as 2-alkyl-1-alkanols and are well known as Guerbet alcohols. Cuts from C12 to C32 are available. Up to C24 they are liquid at ambient temperature, whereas corresponding linear and saturated alcohols are solid. The use of ISOFOL alcohols is recommended if oxidative and color stability, low volatility and excellent low-temperature properties are required.

LIALs are oxo-alcohols produced as a single cut or mixture, with approximately 50% linear alcohol and the other 50% as a mixture of primary C2-monobranched alcohols. It is possible to subsequently separate the linear part, ALCHEM, from the branched part, ISALCHEM. The wide possibility of choice, both in chain length and linearity, allows to choose and modulate the properties as best required.

SAFOL 23 alcohol is produced in South Africa by the hydroformylation of olefins obtained in the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process with subsequent hydrogenation. This alcohol consists of about 50% branched and 50% linear structures. It shows wettability ability like a branched alcohol but the majority of the branching is not in the C-2 position, when it is further derivatized, it reacts more like a linear alcohol.
