Quick Buyer Answer

Lauric Acid, CAS 143-07-7, is a saturated C12 fatty acid also known as Dodecanoic Acid. It is used in soap making, personal care formulations and the manufacture of suitable surfactants, esters and other chemical derivatives. UK buyers can request a quotation by sharing their required grade, specification, quantity and delivery postcode.

What Is Lauric Acid?

Lauric Acid is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid containing twelve carbon atoms. It is generally a white solid at room temperature.

Synonym: Dodecanoic Acid.
Lauric Acid CAS No.: 143-07-7.
Molecular formula: C₁₂H₂₄O₂.
INCI name: Lauric Acid.

Lauric Acid occurs naturally as a fatty acid component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Buyers requiring a particular feedstock origin should request a manufacturer declaration for the offered material.

Commercial grades differ in C12 content and accompanying fatty acid composition. Review the complete specification when selecting material for your manufacturing process.

Lauric Acid Uses and Applications

Lauric Acid in Soap Making

Manufacturers use Lauric Acid in soap making to produce laurate soaps through neutralisation with a suitable alkali. These soaps contribute cleansing and lathering properties to the finished formulation.

Soap formulators should balance Lauric Acid with the complete fatty acid blend to achieve the required foam, bar characteristics and skin feel. Performance depends on the overall recipe and manufacturing process.

Personal Care Cleansing Formulations

Lauric Acid is used in suitable personal care cleansing systems, including formulations containing neutralised fatty acid soaps.

Personal care manufacturers should assess the required grade, colour, odour, fatty acid composition and compatibility with the complete formulation.

Surfactant and Detergent Raw Materials

Lauric Acid serves as a raw material for selected surfactants and detergent ingredients. Its C12 fatty acid chain is useful in the manufacture of suitable cleansing and surface-active derivatives.

Manufacturers should specify the fatty acid composition and quality parameters required by their particular conversion process.

Esters and Oleochemical Derivatives

Lauric Acid is used to manufacture laurate esters and other oleochemical intermediates. The properties and applications of these derivatives depend on the alcohol or other reactant used.

Derivative manufacturers should review acid value, moisture, colour and relevant impurity limits against their approved production specification.

Lauric Acid Grade and Specification Selection

When comparing Lauric Acid suppliers for the UK, review the manufacturer's specification against your application. Relevant purchasing parameters may include C12 content, fatty acid distribution, acid value, saponification value, iodine value, moisture, colour and titre or melting range.

Specify your required physical form and any material-handling requirements. Confirm the offered form and packaging with the quotation.

For soap and personal care manufacturing, include any odour, colour or ingredient-origin requirements. Where a particular sourcing certification is required, request supporting documents for the offered grade.

Food or pharmaceutical enquiries should identify the required grade, applicable quality standard and qualification documents separately. General industrial suitability does not establish suitability for these applications.

• Required grade and approved product specification.
• Minimum C12 content and relevant fatty acid composition limits.
• Intended application and preferred physical form.
• Order quantity and expected repeat consumption.
• Packaging preferences and ingredient-origin requirements.
• UK delivery postcode or nominated destination port.
• Required delivery date and supporting documents.

Ask for the quotation to identify the offered manufacturer, pack size, delivery basis and estimated lead time so your procurement team can compare the complete supply proposal.

Lauric Acid MSDS, SDS and Technical Documentation

Request the Lauric Acid Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), product specification and available Technical Data Sheet (TDS) during supplier evaluation.

Buyers searching for a Lauric Acid MSDS should request the current supplier-issued SDS for the exact grade offered. Review it for handling, storage, protective equipment and transport information.

Check batch traceability, fatty acid composition and relevant test results against your purchase specification. Share any additional quality declarations or receiving-site documentation requirements with your initial enquiry.
