Product Description

Lauric acid (English: Lauric acid), also known as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid. Its molecular formula is C12H24O2. Although it is called lauric acid, it only accounts for 1-3% of the content of lauric acid. At present, it is found that the vegetable oils with high lauric acid content include coconut oil 45-52%, oil palm seed oil [palm kernel] 44-52%, babassu seed oil [babassu kernel] 43-44%, etc. Lauric acid is a saturated fatty acid.

 use:

1. It is mainly used as a raw material for the production of alkyd resins, wetting agents, detergents , insecticides , surfactants, food additives and cosmetics. This product is often used as a lubricant and has multiple functions such as lubricant and vulcanizing agent. However, due to its corrosive effect on metals , it is generally not used in plastic products such as wires and cables. This product is most widely used in the surfactant industry, and can also be used in the perfume industry and pharmaceutical industry.

2. Used as a surface treatment agent for the preparation of bonding. It is also used in the manufacture of alkyd resins, chemical fiber oils, insecticides , synthetic fragrances, plastic stabilizers, anti-corrosion additives for gasoline and lubricating oils. It is widely used in the manufacture of various types of surfactants, such as cationic laurylamine, lauryl nitrile, trilaurylamine, lauryl dimethylamine, lauryl trimethylammonium salt, etc.; anionic types include sodium lauryl sulfate, Lauric acid sulfate ester salt, lauryl sulfate triethanol ammonium salt, etc.; zwitterionic types include lauryl betaine, lauric acid imidazoline, etc.; nonionic surfactants include poly-L-alcohol monolaurate, polyoxyethylene lauryl Ester, glyceryl laurate polyoxyethylene ether, lauric acid diethanolamide, etc. In addition, it is also used as a food additive and in the manufacture of cosmetics.

3. Lauric acid is the raw material for producing soap, detergent, cosmetic surfactant and chemical fiber oil.
