  • Applications

    10-Methyldodecanoic acid (CAS 7416-57-1) is a branched long-chain fatty acid used as a versatile intermediate and feedstock in oleochemical and industrial chemistry; common applications include serving as a starting point for ester-based lubricants and lubricant additives, as a plasticizer or compatibility aid for polymers and coatings, as a raw material for nonionic or anionic surfactants and detergents, as an intermediate for fragrance and cosmetic esters, and as a building block for specialty oleochemicals in cleaning formulations.
