1.2-Hexadecanoic acid product introduction
2-Hexadecanoic acid, also known as isopalmitic acid, differs significantly from straight-chain fatty acids due to its branched structure at the β-position of the long carbon chain. Branched-chain acids exhibit lower freezing points, better oil solubility, reduced viscosity, enhanced thermal stability, and antioxidant properties. Their salts demonstrate high solubility, while their derivatives form membranes with excellent permeability to air and water. Currently, it is widely recognized as an extraction agent and vitamin C modifier in fields such as metallurgy and cosmetics.
