Description:
Ammonium laurate, with the CAS number 2437-23-2, is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from lauric acid, a fatty acid commonly found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or powder and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications. This compound exhibits surfactant properties, which means it can reduce surface tension and enhance the wetting and emulsifying capabilities of formulations. Ammonium laurate is often utilized in personal care products, such as shampoos and lotions, as well as in food and pharmaceutical applications due to its mildness and compatibility with skin. Additionally, it can act as a stabilizer and thickening agent in various formulations. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation. Overall, ammonium laurate is valued for its multifunctional properties in both industrial and consumer products.
