fatty acid mixture | isostearic acid is a general term for a class of C18 saturated branched fatty acid mixture. Widely exists in nature. The wax substances attached to many waterbird feathers are composed of fatty acids and fatty alcohols with methyl branched chains. Some plants also have a certain amount of isostearic acid in their seeds. Isostearic acid not only has the characteristics of linear unsaturated fatty acids, but also has the characteristics of saturated fatty acids. It is liquid at room temperature and has good antioxidant properties. Therefore, isostearic acid is an important chemical intermediate with good commercial value. It is widely used in lubricating base oil, metal cleaning agent, paint, cosmetics and other fields. |
