myristic acid behenyl ester

Description:
Myristic acid behenyl ester, with the CAS number 42232-05-3, is an ester formed from myristic acid and behenyl alcohol. It is a fatty acid ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chains, which contribute to its hydrophobic properties. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance at room temperature. Myristic acid, a saturated fatty acid, has a 14-carbon chain, while behenyl alcohol, a long-chain fatty alcohol, has a 22-carbon chain. The combination of these two components results in a compound that exhibits emulsifying, thickening, and stabilizing properties, making it useful in various applications, particularly in cosmetics and personal care products. Additionally, myristic acid behenyl ester is known for its skin-conditioning properties, enhancing the texture and feel of formulations. Its stability and low toxicity further contribute to its appeal in formulation chemistry. Overall, this ester is valued for its functional properties in both industrial and cosmetic applications.
