Lauric acid (alias dodecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid), white Needle crystal, soluble in methanol, slightly soluble in acetone, petroleum ether and water. It is most widely used in surfactant industry. There are many derivatives of lauric acid.
Suppliers of lauric acid point out: Derivatives of lauric acid that can be used as plastic additives include the following:
Dilaurate phthalate (DLP), produced by the condensation of phthalic anhydride and lauric acid, is used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resins. DLP has low volatility, good temperature and cold resistance, and can be used to make films with strong tensile strength and good flexibility. It can also be used in PVC flooring, wall decorative panels, wire coverings, artificial leather, fire-fighting equipment, etc.
Diethylene glycol dilaurate can be used as a plasticizer, emulsifier, inhibitor and fixative for gas chromatography analysis.
Dilauryl thiodipropionate can be used as an antioxidant and stabilizer for polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, ABS plastics, etc. It can also be used as a plasticizer and softener. Components of food packaging materials. It can also be used as an antioxidant in rubber, grease, soap, lubricating oil, and grease. It is particularly effective as a heat stabilizer in polypropylene processing.
Dibutyltin dilaurate is a stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, mainly used in soft and semi-rigid polyvinyl chloride products, such as transparent films, pipes, artificial leather, etc.
Its same series of products include: monobutyl maleate, dibutyltin laurate, monooctyl maleate laurate, dibutyltin and more than ten varieties.
