:Octadecanoic acid, dimer
Description:
Octadecanoic acid, dimer, also known as stearic acid dimer, is a long-chain fatty acid derivative characterized by its dimeric structure, which results from the condensation of two molecules of octadecanoic acid. This substance typically appears as a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. It has a high melting point, indicative of its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its stability and solid-state at ambient temperatures. Octadecanoic acid, dimer is primarily used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as an emulsifying agent in various industrial applications. Its properties include a relatively high molecular weight and a significant hydrophobic character, making it useful in formulations that require water-repellent characteristics. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity and biodegradability, aligning with environmental safety standards. Overall, octadecanoic acid, dimer serves as an important compound in both chemical synthesis and industrial applications.
