Arachidic acid lauryl ester, with the CAS number 42232-82-6, is an ester derived from arachidic acid and lauryl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chains, which contribute to its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Arachidic acid, a saturated fatty acid, consists of 20 carbon atoms, while lauryl alcohol, a fatty alcohol, has 12 carbon atoms. The combination of these two components results in a compound that exhibits emulsifying and surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, and food formulations. Additionally, it may possess moisturizing properties, enhancing skin feel and texture in formulations. As with many esters, it is generally stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.

ARACHIDIC ACID LAURYL ESTER

Dodecyl Icosanoate

Dodecyl arachidate is a liquid fatty alcohol that is used to create monomers and polymers. It can be used as a dietary supplement in microcapsules. Dodecyl arachidate has been shown to reduce the severity of diabetic neuropathy by preventing the formation of reactive oxygen species, which are thought to be responsible for the development of this condition. The molecular weight of dodecyl arachidate is approximately 360 g/mol, with a melting point of about -5°C and boiling point at about 127°C.
