Bergazid C1299
Lauric acid, also known as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C12H24O2. It is found abundantly in natural sources such as coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Industrially, lauric acid finds diverse applications, including in cosmetics, the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemistry. In industrial chemistry, lauric acid is utilized in the manufacturing of lubricants and detergents. Its surfactant properties make it valuable in detergent formulations, where it aids in breaking down grease and stains effectively. Additionally, it is employed in the production of lubricants to reduce friction and enhance the performance of machinery.
