:Lithium palmitate
Description:
Lithium palmitate is a chemical compound formed from lithium and palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid. It is typically represented by the formula C16H31LiO2. This substance appears as a white to off-white powder or solid and is known for its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Lithium palmitate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits characteristics typical of lithium salts, such as being hygroscopic and having a relatively high melting point. In terms of reactivity, lithium palmitate can participate in various chemical reactions, including those involving the formation of complexes with other metal ions. Its unique properties make it valuable in the formulation of lithium-based lubricants and as an additive in certain chemical processes. Safety data indicates that, like many lithium compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
