Batyl alcohol

CAS: 544-62-7

Overview

Batyl alcohol (CAS 544-62-7 ), also known as glycerol octadecyl ether, is a naturally occurring ether lipid found in shark liver oil and certain plant sources. It functions as an emulsifier, carrier, and moisturizing agent across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing.

In topical pharmaceutical formulations, it stabilizes emulsions and acts as a carrier for active ingredients in creams and ointments. Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into moisturizers and skin-conditioning products.

Its lipid structure supports barrier function and helps retain skin hydration. In food-grade applications, it serves as a lipid emulsifier in specialty fat systems and functional ingredient delivery for various industrial processes.

Nutraceutical producers also use it as a carrier lipid in softgel and encapsulated formats targeting immune-support formulations. This versatile compound is essential for maintaining stability in complex chemical mixtures.

Batyl alcohol is typically supplied as a white to off-white waxy solid or flake. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications to meet purity requirements across regulated industries.

Packaging options generally range from kilogram quantities for formulators to bulk drum supply for industrial-scale production. This ensures that both small-scale laboratories and large manufacturers can access the material.

The material is tested to ensure it meets rigorous safety and performance benchmarks. Suppliers provide comprehensive documentation to support the integration of this lipid into high-quality consumer and industrial goods.
