Lauric acid CAS143-07-7 , also known as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with 12 carbon atoms. At room temperature, it is a white needle shaped crystal with a slight fragrance of laurel oil. Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ether, chloroform, and slightly soluble in acetone and petroleum ether. Although named lauric acid, it only accounts for 1-3% of the content of lauric oil. At present, it has been found that plant oils with high lauric acid content include coconut oil 45-52%, oil palm seed oil 44-52%, and babassu seed oil 43-44%. Although lauric acid is a saturated fatty acid, its cardiovascular disease risk is lower than other saturated fatty acids. The biggest effect of lauric acid is its antibacterial ability, which can enhance immunity. Many people have found that after consuming lauric acid, the antiviral ability is greatly improved, such as influenza, fever, herpes, etc. Lauric acid can also alleviate antibiotic resistance, reduce the risk of heart disease, and so on. For young women, one of the major benefits of lauric acid is skincare. Studies have found that its skincare effect is much better than some well-known cosmetics.

Application

Lauric acid 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 various 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 spice and pharmaceutical industries.

Used as a surface treatment agent for preparing adhesive. It is also used in the manufacturing of alkyd resins, chemical fiber lubricants, insecticides, synthetic fragrances, plastic stabilizers, and anti-corrosion additives for gasoline and lubricants. Widely used in the manufacture of various types of surfactants, such as cationic types such as laurylamine, laurylnitrile, trimethylamine, lauryldimethylamine, lauryltrimethylammonium salt, etc; Anionic types include sodium lauryl sulfate, lauric acid sulfate ester salt, lauryl sulfate triethanolamine ammonium salt, etc; Amphoteric ion types include lauryl betaine, lauric acid imidazoline, etc; Non ionic surfactants include polyL-alcohol monolaurate, polyoxyethylene laurate, glyceryl laurate polyoxyethylene ether, lauric acid diethanolamide, etc. In addition, it is also used as a food additive and in the manufacturing of cosmetics. Lauric acid is a raw material for producing soap, detergents, cosmetic surfactants, and chemical fiber oils.
