  • Applications

    11-Dodecenoic acid, CAS 65423-25-8, is used as a biobased chemical intermediate and building block in industrial manufacturing. It serves as a precursor for esters and surfactants for cleaning and household products, and as a base component for lubricants and plasticizers in polymers and coatings. The acid is also employed in the production of specialty polymers and bio-based resin formulations, and in cosmetics and personal care it can function as an emollient or conditioning ingredient. It may also be evaluated for use in coating and ink formulations as a renewable feedstock.
