Overview
General
Product Name:
Caprylic & Capric Acid Blend
Description:
Caprylic Acid is a carboxylic acid. It is a colorless oily liquid and is produced by the oxidation of C8 aldehyde. Caprylic Acid is used in lubricants, in the production of esters for perfume and dyes, and as a disinfectant, sanitizer and fungicide in food processing plants, medical facilities and plant nurseries respectively.
Capric Acid (also known as Decanoic Acid) is a saturated fatty acid. It is a white crystalline solid with a sweaty, unpleasant smell. It is used to manufacture esters for artificial fruit flavors and perfumes. Capric Acid also has applications in lubricants, greases, rubber, dyes, plastics, food additives, and pharmaceuticals.
