CAS 7230-93-5

Aluminum laurate

Description:

Aluminum laurate, with the CAS number 7230-93-5, is a chemical compound formed from aluminum and lauric acid, a fatty acid with a long hydrocarbon chain. It typically appears as a white to off-white powder or solid and is known for its amphiphilic properties, which means it can interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. This characteristic makes aluminum laurate useful as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various formulations, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It has a relatively low solubility in water but can dissolve in organic solvents, which enhances its utility in different applications. Additionally, aluminum laurate exhibits thermal stability, making it suitable for processes that involve heat. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions. Overall, aluminum laurate is valued for its functional properties in enhancing the texture and stability of products across multiple industries.
