Additionally, cetyl alcohol is one kind of inert chemical material whose chemical property is very stable in common conditions. Cetyl alcohol contains pure cetyl alcohol(C16) and mixed cetyl alcohol which contains three main kinds, i.e., C18:C16=5:5; C18:C16=7:3; C18:C16=3:7. However, the pure alcohol (C16) is the most widely used in the production.
