PALMITYL ACETATE is an organic compound that is a white solid with a waxy appearance and texture.
The preparation of 1-hexadecanol formate is usually achieved through the reaction of fatty acid alcohols and acid anhydrides. Specifically, heating the reaction between hexadecanol and acetic anhydride produces 1-hexadecanol formate and acetic acid.
1-Hexadecanol formate, as a chemical, should be avoided from contact with skin and eyes during use. If accidentally touched, it should be immediately rinsed with plenty of water. If discomfort or allergic reactions occur, discontinue use and seek advice from a professional doctor. Meanwhile, relevant safety operating procedures and guidelines should be followed during storage and handling.
