CAS 5331-77-1
:Sodium behenate
Description:
Sodium behenate, with the CAS number 5331-77-1, is a sodium salt of behenic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. It appears as a white to off-white powder and is known for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. Sodium behenate is commonly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as an excipient, aiding in the formulation of creams, lotions, and ointments by improving texture and stability. It is also utilized in the production of solid dosage forms, such as tablets, where it acts as a lubricant and helps in the release of active ingredients. The substance is generally recognized as safe for use in food and cosmetics, although its solubility in water is limited due to its long hydrocarbon chain. Additionally, sodium behenate exhibits good thermal stability and can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for various applications. Its fatty acid composition contributes to its ability to form stable emulsions, enhancing the overall performance of formulations in which it is included.
