zinc diricinoleate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Zinc diricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, a major fatty acid found in castor oil.  It is used in many deodorants as an odor-adsorbing agent. 

Chemical Properties

Fine white powder; faint fatty acid odor. Mp 92–95C, d 1.10 (25/25C). Combustible.

Uses

Fungicide, emulsifier, greases, lubricants, waterproofing, lubricating-oil additive, stabilizer in vinyl compounds.

Physiological effects

The metal ion zinc in  zinc ricinoleate reacts with the fatty acid esters in the skin and forms a protective layer that prevents the skin from becoming dry or irritated.It also inhibits bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of proteins needed for cell division.
