Application Areas

Application areas	Application Notes
Cosmetics manufacturing	Docdohydrin is primarily used as a solid emollient to moisturize and smooth the skin. It also possesses excellent viscosity stability and can form a film on hair, providing a volume-enhancing effect. In cosmetics, docdohydrin acts as a moisturizer, solubilizer, and pigment dispersant, while also functioning as a viscosity modifier.
pharmaceutical industry	Dodecyl alcohol and its cream are novel antiviral drugs, primarily used to treat recurrent oral and facial herpes simplex. Its therapeutic effect is superior to currently used nucleoside antiviral drugs, with fewer toxic side effects.

Packaging

Stability and storage conditions

Storage conditions: Generally stable under normal storage conditions. However, specific storage conditions may vary depending on the purity of the product, packaging, and intended use. Generally, to avoid potential degradation or contamination, it is recommended to store dicofol in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of heat and fire. At the same time, ensure that the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture or other impurities from entering.

Shelf life: 2 years (unopened)
