Thread: Unitank vs. Bright Tank? Unitank vs. Bright Tank? Hello out there, looking for some input...we are in the fortunate position of working on an expansion right now, moving into a 7 BBL system from a 1 BBL, but I have been in a dilemma on determining my tank order.
Primary alcohol. A primary alcohol is an alcohol which has the hydroxyl group connected to a primary carbon atom. It can also be defined as a molecule containing a ââCH2OHâ group. In contrast, a secondary alcohol has a formula ââCHROHâ and a tertiary alcohol has a formula ââCR2OHâ, where âRâ indicates a carbon-containing group.
Cetearyl Alcohol and the other fatty alcohols keep an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components. These ingredients are also used to alter the thickness of liquid products and to increase foaming capacity or to stabilize foams. Cetearyl, Cetyl, Myristyl and Behenyl Alcohols are straight-chain alcohols. Isostearyl Alcohol is a branched chain alcohol. Cetearyl Alcohol is a mixture of mostly of Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohols, which are fatty alcohols that occur naturally in small quantities in plants and animals. Myristyl Alcohol is a 14 carbon chain. Cetyl Alcohol has 16 carbons, while Stearyl and Isostearyl Alcohols have 18 carbons.
