Decanoic acid, zinc salt (2:1)

Description:
Decanoic acid, zinc salt (2:1), also known as zinc decanoate, is a coordination compound formed from decanoic acid and zinc ions. It typically appears as a white to off-white powder or solid and is characterized by its fatty acid nature, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound is often used in various applications, including as a stabilizer in plastics, a lubricant, and in the formulation of personal care products. Its solubility is generally limited in water but can dissolve in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic characteristics. The zinc ion in the structure can provide antimicrobial properties, making it useful in certain biocidal applications. Additionally, the compound may exhibit low toxicity, but safety data should be consulted for specific handling and exposure guidelines. Overall, decanoic acid, zinc salt (2:1) combines the properties of both its fatty acid and metal components, making it versatile in industrial and consumer applications.
