Usage

General Description

Fatty acids, C9-13-neo-, also known as neopentanoic acids, are a group of saturated fatty acids. They are composed of carbon chains that range from 9 to 13 carbon atoms in length, with a branching structure at the C-3 position. These compounds are commonly used in the industrial production of lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants, due to their high thermal stability and resistance to oxidation. Additionally, they are also utilized in the synthesis of esters for fragrance and flavor applications. Fatty acids, C9-13-neo-, exhibit a range of physical and chemical properties, making them a versatile and valuable group of chemicals in various industrial processes.
