Docosanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to cream crystals or powder

Uses

behenic acid is a long-chain fatty acid used in product formulations to form a viscous emulsion. It is considered a non-comedogenic raw material.

Uses

Behenic acid is used to give hair conditioners and moisturizers their smoothing properties. It is also used to investigate the phase behavior of long-chain acids in supercritical propane.

Uses

Docosanoic acid is a long-chain fatty acid,it has the following purposes: Waxes, textiles, pharmaceuticals, emulsifiers, and personal care products, lubricants, esters, chemical synthesis, and specialties.

Definition

ChEBI: A straight-chain, C22, long-chain saturated fatty acid.

General Description

Monomolecular films of stearic and behenic acid were formed on substrates 0.1M in sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate or sodium phosphate and were investigated by IR analysis.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid pKEst from ligroin. [Francis & Piper J Am Chem Soc 61 577 1939, Beilstein 2 IV 1290.]
