:Eicosanoic acid, octadecyl ester
Description:
Eicosanoic acid, octadecyl ester, also known as behenic acid octadecyl ester, is an ester formed from eicosanoic acid (a long-chain fatty acid) and octadecanol (a long-chain alcohol). This compound typically appears as a waxy solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its temperature and purity. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Eicosanoic acid, octadecyl ester is known for its applications in cosmetics and personal care products, where it serves as an emollient, thickening agent, and skin-conditioning agent. Additionally, it may be utilized in various industrial applications, including lubricants and surfactants. The compound exhibits stability under normal conditions, although it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its long hydrocarbon chains contribute to its properties, such as high melting and boiling points, which are typical of fatty acid esters. Overall, eicosanoic acid, octadecyl ester is valued for its functional properties in both consumer and industrial applications.
