Shell NEODOL® alcohols and their derivatives are classified as “readily biodegradable” according to the OECD guidelines for chemicals.
Products in this category are environmentally preferred. Their essentially linear structure provides comparable properties and performance to commonly used oleo alcohols such as those based on palm kernel and coconut oils. Additionally, the light branching of Shell NEODOL products can improve handling properties and compatibility with other ingredients.
Chemical composition for high performance
Shell NEODOL alcohol grades are produced using our proprietary hydroformylation technology. This gives both odd- and even-numbered alcohol carbon chains and a unique lightly branched structure; see the figure below. They are ideal to manufacture intermediates for cleansing agents and solubilizers. They can also be used as is, as stabilizers and emollients.
Shell NEODOL® is among many products in the performance product portfolio available as conventional, bio-based and/or lower carbon solutions. Develop your solutions, together with Shell Chemicals.
Lower carbon as compared to Shell’s certified conventional baseline, measured on a cradle-to-gate, mass balanced basis or other agreed alternatives.
