Phytanic acid,3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadecanoic acid - Introduction
PHYTANIC ACID(PHYTANIC ACID) is an organic ACID with a chemical formula of C20H40O2, which is a straight-chain saturated fatty ACID. It is found mainly in animal and vegetable fats.
PHYTANIC ACID is a colorless crystal or white powdery solid. It has a melting point of about 42 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of about 340 degrees Celsius. PHYTANIC ACID is insoluble in water, but can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform and Ether solvents.
PHYTANIC ACID has many applications. It is commonly used as a softener and lubricant in cosmetics and personal care products. In addition, it is also widely used in the manufacture of synthetic esters, lubricants and plastic additives.
PHYTANIC ACID can be prepared by different methods. A common preparation method is to use vegetable oils and animal fats as raw materials, which are obtained through esterification and hydrolysis reactions. Another method is by oxidation of plant fatty acids.
Regarding the safety information of PHYTANIC ACID, it is considered to be a relatively low toxic substance. However, like other chemical substances, the use and handling of PHYTANIC ACID requires appropriate safety measures, such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, avoiding inhalation of dust or contact with skin. If accidentally ingested or exposed to PHYTANIC ACID, immediately wash or seek medical attention. When storing, store PHYTANIC ACID in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from fire and oxidizing agents.
