Methyl 12-hydroxystearate

Description:
Methyl 12-hydroxystearate, with the CAS number 141-23-1, is a fatty acid ester derived from 12-hydroxystearic acid and methanol. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance. Methyl 12-hydroxystearate exhibits a high melting point due to its saturated fatty acid structure, which is indicative of its potential applications in various industries, including cosmetics, lubricants, and food additives. Its hydroxyl group provides it with unique properties, such as emulsification and thickening capabilities, making it valuable in formulations requiring stability and texture. Additionally, it is known for its low toxicity and biodegradability, aligning with increasing environmental concerns in chemical manufacturing and usage. Overall, methyl 12-hydroxystearate is a versatile compound with significant industrial relevance.
