  • Applications

    Nonadecanoic acid, 2-methyl- may serve as an industrial intermediate for the synthesis of branched long-chain fatty acid esters and amides used in surfactants and detergents; it is a building block for specialty plasticizers and processing aids in polymers and coatings; it can be converted into lubricants or lubricant additives for metalworking and automotive applications; it is evaluated as a feedstock for cosmetic and personal-care ingredients, including emollients and conditioning agents; and it may be used as a precursor in adhesive and sealant formulations to improve flexibility and tack.
