Unilin Linear primary alcohol Baker Petrolite Surfactants Surfactants >> Alcohols ADHESIVE Linear Primary Alcohols - UNILIN® Alcohols The Polymers Division has created the UNILIN Alcohol line of long chain primary alcohols. UNILIN Alcohols feature… Completely linear structure Fully saturated Higher molecular weights, Higher melting points, Greater crystallinity, and Greater alcohol content … than other commercially available linear alcohols. Compared with conventional alcohol technology that has been limited to carbon chain lengths of C30 or below, UNILIN Alcohols from Baker Petrolite are available with average chain lengths of C24 to C50. Melt points of UNILIN Alcohols products range from 78°C to 106°C. UNILIN Alcohols are composed of approximately 80% primary alcohol; the remaining 20% is saturated or chemically inactive hydrocarbons of the same molecular weight. The hydroxyl function of the alcohol is evenly distributed among all carbon chain lengths. UNILIN Alcohols from Baker Petrolite may be incorporated into a wide range of chemical processes and formulations. They offer improved compatibility with other high molecular weight functional polymers when compared to shorter chain alcohols or non-functional hydrocarbons. Alcohol functionality Increased solubility in polar systems Co-emulsifier for Silicones Reactive sites for derivatives Linear carbon backbone Compatible with hydrocarbons Solvent resistance in coatings Hard Controlled Mn (350 – 700) and narrow MWD Formulating flexibility Controllable melting point Low melt viscosity UNILIN® Alcohols from Baker Petrolite are incorporated as intermediates into a wide variety of industrial chemical processes and applications. Chemical intermediates for oxidation, sulfation, amination, and esterification Additives for adhesive formulations Additives for coatings/paints and toners Lubricity improvers in plastics Defoamer additives for pulp and paper systems Compatibility enhancers for silicone systems Intermediate for polyester resins to reduce sensitivity to humidity Linear primary alcohol. Used as an additive for adhesive formulations. Possesses full saturation, high molecular weight, high melting point, great crystallinity and alcohol content. Offers improved compatibility with other high molecular weight functional polymers when compared to shorter chain alcohols or non-functional hydrocarbons. Provides increased solubility in polar systems, reactive sites for derivatives, hardness, formulating flexibility, controllable melting point and low melt viscosity. Can be used as chemical intermediate for oxidation, sulfation, amination, and esterification. Several grades: Chain lengths of C24 to C50.
