Our product range

Shell NEODOL alcohols are high purity, high linearity primary alcohols that typically contain 75-85% by weight normal (or linear) alcohols. Shell NEODOL alcohols contain both even and odd numbered carbon chains, offering excellent product qualities across a variety of applications.

Our unique process

Our unique process

Shell NEODOL alcohols are manufactured using the Shell Hydroformylation (SHF) process from olefins produced from ethylene using the Shell Higher Olefins Process (SHOP). The alcohols are then reacted with ethylene oxide to produce Shell NEODOL ethoxylates.

Key benefits

Shell NEODOL Alcohols:

  • Odd and even numbered primary alcohols ranging from C9 鈥� C15
  • Approximately 80% linear, 20% branched (largely methyl, with less ethyl, propyl)
  • High purity chemicals with very low levels of contaminants (water, oxygenates, diols, and heavy metals)

Shell NEODOL Alcohol Ethoxylates:

  • Low and high mole ethoxylates based on odd and even numbered primary alcohols ranging from C9 鈥� C15
  • High purity with very low levels of contaminants (water and heavy metals)
  • Level of 1,4 - Dioxane, a by-product formed at low concentration, is less than 1 ppm

All Shell NEODOL grades are readily biodegradable.

How are Shell NEODOL products used?

Shell NEODOL alcohols and alcohol ethoxylates are found at the heart of many everyday products. They help to keep our clothes, floors and dishes clean as well as being used in personal care products such as shampoo and bodywash. Shell NEODOL ethoxylates are also used in agrochemical formulations while Shell NEODOL alcohols are used to manufacture certain lubricant additives. Explore some of their applications here.

Shell Linevol

The Shell LINEVOL庐 series is made up of high-purity, synthetic alcohols that are largely linear and have both odd and even-numbered hydrocarbon chains, ranging from C9 to C11. Shell LINEVOL alcohols are used to manufacture plasticizer molecules, such as phthalate and trimellitate esters, which are used to plasticize polymers such as poly vinyl chloride (PVC). The plasticizer molecule based on LINEVOL alcohol improve the flexibility of the polymers.
