Suzhou Industrial Grade Lauric Acid, Cosmetic and Detergent Raw Material
Lauric acid (English: Lauric acid), systematically named dodecanoic acid (English: dodecanoic acid), is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain. Its molecular formula is C12H24O2. It possesses many properties of medium-chain fatty acids, appearing as a white powdery solid with a faint odor of laurel oil or soap. The chemical salts and esters of lauric acid are referred to as laurates (English: laurate).
