Lauric Acid

Lauric Acid is mainly used to produce alkyd resins, humectants, detergents, pesticides, surfactants, food additives and cosmetic raw materials. 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 for 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 the pharmaceutical industry.

Lauric Acid is used as a surface treatment agent for the preparation of bonding. It is also used in the manufacture of alkyd resins, chemical fiber oils, pesticides, synthetic fragrances, plastic stabilizers, anti-corrosion additives for gasoline and lubricants. It is widely used in the manufacture of various types of surfactants, such as cationic lauryl amine, lauryl nitrile, trilauryl amine, lauryl dimethyl amine, lauryl trimethyl ammonium salt, etc.;

Anionic types include sodium lauryl sulfate, lauric acid sulfate, triethanolammonium lauryl sulfate, etc.; zwitterionic types include lauryl betaine, lauric acid imidazoline, etc.;

Non-ionic surfactants include poly-L-alcohol monolaurate, polyoxyethylene laurate, glyceryl laurate polyoxyethylene ether, lauric acid diethanolamide, and the like. In addition, it is also used as a food additive and in the manufacture of cosmetics.

Lauric acid is the raw material for the production of soaps, detergents, cosmetic surfactants, and chemical fiber oils.
