Fatty alcohols are high molecular weight aliphatic carbon compounds containing long carbon chains attached to a terminal hydroxyl group. These alcohols are odd-numbered or even-numbered depending upon the sources from which they are derived. Fatty alcohols derived from natural sources are even-numbered, and the ones derived from synthetic sources are odd-numbered. These alcohols are derived from natural sources such as palm oil, Palm Kernel (PK) oil, coconut oil, and rapeseed oil. Synthetic fatty alcohols are produced through the hydroformylation process from olefins. Fatty alcohols can be saturated, branched, and unsaturated, depending upon the chain length.
