  • Applications

    cis-2-Dodecenoic acid (CAS 55928-65-9) is a fatty acid building block used primarily in oleochemical syntheses. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a starting material for emollient esters and other fatty acid derivatives for creams, lotions, and surfactant formulations. In household and cleaning products, it can function as a feedstock for soap and surfactant ingredients after neutralization or derivatization. In industrial manufacturing and coatings, it is employed as a raw material for alkyd and polyester resin components and as a precursor to plasticizers and lubricant additives. In polymers and plastics, it acts as a functionalized monomer/chain extender for specialty polymers and crosslinkable systems. In fragrance and flavor chemistry, it may be used as a precursor to odor-active esters or related fragrance ingredients, subject to formulation needs.
