  • Applications

    11-Eicosenoic Acid (CAS 2462-94-4) is a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid primarily used as a feedstock for the synthesis of fatty acid esters and related derivatives for industrial formulations. Typical applications include: serving as a component in cosmetics and personal care products in the form of esters or conditioning oils; providing a base for bio-based lubricants and lubricant additives; a building block for specialty plasticizers and for alkyd coatings in paints and finishes; acting as a precursor for surfactants and emulsifiers in cleaning and household formulations; and being evaluated as a monomer or comonomer in polymer and biopolymer formulations based on fatty acids.
