Product Information

• Name: Behenic acid ethyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Behenic acid ethyl ester is a high molecular weight, non-volatile, reactive functional group that can be used as a cross-linking agent. It is used in the production of polymers and films. The formation rate of the polymer film is increased by the incorporation of behenic acid ethyl ester. Behenic acid ethyl ester also reacts with p-hydroxybenzoic acid to form an ester bond. This reaction can be monitored using infrared spectroscopy. Behenic acid ethyl ester has a hydroxyl group that can react with water vapor to form hydrogen bonds, which are weak intermolecular forces between two molecules.br>br>Behenic acid ethyl ester is a fatty acid that belongs to the class of hydrocarbons. It contains 16 carbon atoms and has two hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbons at positions 9 and 10 on the aliphatic chain. It has four
