SYNATIVE AL G 16 is a Guerbet alcohol that has excellent low temperature properties, solubility in esters and mineral oils, outstanding oxidation stability, and high additive compatibility. 
SYNATIVE AL G 16 is a fatty alcohol-based formulation designed to function as a structuring and rheology-modifying agent in various industrial and cosmetic applications.

SYNATIVE AL G 16 is typically supplied as a colourless to slightly yellowish liquid with well-defined physicochemical properties, including controlled viscosity and hydroxyl value.
SYNATIVE AL G 16 provides consistency, stability, and improved texture in formulations, particularly in oil-based and emulsion systems, while maintaining good compatibility with a wide range of ingredients.

Properties and Use of SYNATIVE AL G 16:
SYNATIVE AL G 16 is a liquid, saturated alcohol which is branched in ß-position to the hydroxyl group.
In spite of the low viscosity resp. the low pour point the volatility of SYNATIVE AL G 16 is very low and the oxidation stability is outstanding.

SYNATIVE AL G 16 can be used in all applications, where linear fatty alcohols show no sufficient low temperature stability, the volatility of short-chain fatty alcohols is too high and where unsaturated fatty alcohols are not stable enough towards autoxidation and rancidity.
SYNATIVE AL G 16 is excellently soluble in fatty acid esters and mineral oils.

SYNATIVE AL G 16 is recommended for following applications:
Base oil in lubricating oils and neat oils (drilling-, cutting-, stamping-, rolling oils)
Base oil/lubricant for spray lubrication techniques in metalworking processes
Solubiliser for water-miscible metalworking fluids

As linear fatty alcohols, SYNATIVE AL G 16 can be used as raw material for many derivatives.
SYNATIVE AL G 16's esters of mono- and dicarboxylic acids are excellent base fluids with low pourpoint, low volatility and good oxidation stability.
Due to their ecologic properties they are widely used for synthetic lubricating oils.

Uses:
SYNATIVE AL G 16 is used as a structuring agent, rheology modifier, and consistency enhancer in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as creams, lotions, balms, and ointments.
SYNATIVE AL G 16 is applied in emulsion systems to improve stability, viscosity control, and overall formulation performance.

SYNATIVE AL G 16 is utilized in oil-based formulations to enhance texture, spreadability, and sensory properties.
SYNATIVE AL G 16 is incorporated into industrial formulations where controlled flow behavior and product stability are required.
