Einecs 272-378-7 - Introduction
Octadecanoic acid, or stearic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with the formula C18H36O2. It is a white solid, odorless, soluble in organic solvents, insoluble in water. Stearic acid is the main component naturally occurring in many animal and plant fats, and can also be synthesized by methods such as oxidation of stearyl alcohol or partial hydrogenation of palmitic acid.
To manufacture Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanol, it is first necessary to react stearic acid with 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanol. This reaction introduces an ethanolamine function at the carboxyl group of stearic acid, forming a condensation product of stearic acid with 2-[(2-aminoethyl) amino] Ethanol.
The use of this compound is mainly as a surfactant, emulsifier and lubricant. It can be widely used in daily chemical products, coatings, plastics, textiles and other fields to provide stability and lubrication for these products.
Regarding safety information, the condensation product of stearic acid and 2-[(2-aminoethyl) amino] Ethanol is generally safe under normal conditions of use. However, as chemical substances, it is still necessary to take appropriate protective measures. When exposed to this substance, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid inhaling its dust. Maintain good ventilation during use and use personal protective equipment such as labor protective gloves and goggles. If inhaled or ingested, seek medical help immediately.
