CAS 54680-48-7

Isostearicacid

Description:

Isostearic acid, with the CAS number 54680-48-7, is a branched-chain fatty acid that is derived from the hydrogenation of castor oil or other natural fats. It is characterized by its unique structure, which includes a long hydrocarbon chain with a branched configuration, typically containing 18 carbon atoms. This structural feature contributes to its lower melting point compared to its straight-chain counterparts, making it a liquid at room temperature. Isostearic acid is known for its emollient properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, where it enhances skin feel and texture. Additionally, it exhibits good stability and resistance to oxidation, which is advantageous in formulations. In industrial applications, isostearic acid is utilized as a lubricant, surfactant, and in the production of esters for various uses. Its biodegradable nature and low toxicity further enhance its appeal in both consumer and industrial applications, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly chemical alternatives.
