Natural Detergent Alcohols Market Segment Analysis - By Grade
Based on grade, glycerin segment acquired a significant share in the natural detergent alcohols market because glycerin exists as a liquid, highly soluble as wastewater treatment chemical and extremely weak acidic compound, which has been detected in most bio fluids, sweat, feces, and blood. The solubility of glycerin is one of the most valuable compounding ingredients for personal care, soaps & detergents, food & beverages, drugs, cosmetics, tobacco, and lubrication. Glycerin is used as a sweetener in syrups, an excipient in eyewash solutions, ear drops as expectorants in gel capsules, and congestion in the pharmaceutical industry. Glycerin used as a moisturizer on the skin and can be applied intravenously to reduce pressure inside the brain. A glycerin content of about 3% keeps tobacco moist & soft to prevent breaking & crumbling during processing, and to ensure freshness in packaged cigarettes & other products. Glycerin is stable to atmospheric oxidation under ordinary conditions; hence increased demand for glycerin also increases the market of fatty alcohols.
Natural Detergent Alcohols Market Segment Analysis - By Sources
Natural detergent alcohols market is obtained through resources such as oils & fats of plant or animal, while synthetically, they are derived from petrochemical derivatives. Natural detergent alcohols are mainly used as raw materials for the manufacturing of surfactants and detergents, which are used in household and industrial cleaning applications. They are colorless oily liquids substances. Due to their amphipathic nature detergent alcohols, act as non-ionic surfactants and are widely used in cleaning products. These alcohols can be used as emulsifiers, emollients, and thickeners.
