Isopelargonic Acid is a branched-chain saturated fatty acid consisting of octanoic acid carrying a 7-methyl group. 
Isopelargonic Acid is a branched-chain saturated fatty acid, a medium-chain fatty acid and a methyl-branched fatty acid.

Isopelargonic Acid (3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoic acid) is a critical carboxylic acid intermediate. 
Isopelargonic Acid is used in the production of polyol ester based synthetic lubricants for refrigeration or aviation. 
The high and consistent purity of the product provides precise and reliable attributes to the applications. 
Isopelargonic Acid is also used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial fluids and coolants; as a monomer in the synthesis of alkyd resins for stoving enamels and two-component paints.

Isopelargonic Acid is used as a monomer in the synthesis of alkyd resins for stoving enamels and two-component paints (primers and topcoats). It brings better yellowing performance in comparison to fatty acids.

Paint driers based on metal salts are also produced with isopelargonic acid acid. 

Isopelargonic Acid is used in the production of polyolester synthetic lubricants.

Isopelargonic Acid is an intermediate used to prepare Nordihydrocapsaicin (N672600) which is a capsaicinoid and analog and congener of capsaicin in chili peppers.
