PALMERA A9912 is readily biodegradable and is GMO-free.
PALMERA A9912 is bovine spongiform encephalopathy/ transmissible spongiform encephalopathy-free.
PALMERA A9912 is a main renewable ingredient for production of soaps.
PALMERA A9912's applications include toiletries, transparent soaps and other cosmetic care products.
PALMERA A9912 is used in production of various esters, fatty alcohols, fatty acid isethionates, metallic soaps, fatty acid sarcosinates, imidazolines and fatty amines.
PALMERA A9912 is approved by ECOCERT Greenlife in accordance with COSMOS standards.
PALMERA A9912 is HALAL and KOSHER certified.
PALMERA A9912 is a medium-length long-chain fatty acid, or lipid, that makes up about half of the fatty acids within coconut oil.
PALMERA A9912’s a powerful substance that is sometimes extracted from the coconut for use in developing monolaurin.
PALMERA A9912 is an antimicrobial agent that is able to fight bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and other pathogens.
Because you can’t ingest PALMERA A9912 alone (it’s irritating and not found alone in nature), you’re most likely to get it in the form of coconut oil or from fresh coconuts.
Though coconut oil is being studied at a breakneck pace, much of the research doesn’t pinpoint what in the oil is responsible for its reported benefits.
Because coconut oil contains much more than just PALMERA A9912, it would be a stretch to credit it with all of the coconut oil benefits.
Still, a 2015 analysis suggests that many of the benefits tied to coconut oil are directly linked to lauric acid.
Among the benefits, they suggest lauric acid could aid weight loss and even protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
PALMERA A9912's effects on blood cholesterol levels still need to be clarified.
This research suggests that the benefits of PALMERA A9912 are due to how the body uses it.
The majority of PALMERA A9912 is sent directly to the liver, where it’s converted to energy rather than stored as fat. When compared with other saturated fats, lauric acid contributes the least to fat storage.
PALMERA A9912, systematically dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus having many properties of medium-chain fatty acids.
PALMERA A9912 is a bright white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
The salts and esters of lauric acid are known as laurates.

Like many other fatty acids, PALMERA A9912 is inexpensive, has a long shelf-life, and is non-toxic and safe to handle.
PALMERA A9912 is mainly used for the production of soaps and cosmetics.
For these purposes, PALMERA A9912 is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to give sodium laurate, which is a soap.
Most commonly, sodium laurate is obtained by saponification of various oils, such as coconut oil.
These precursors give mixtures of sodium laurate and other soaps.
Uses
1. PALMERA A9912 Used for the preparation of alkyd resins, as well as wetting agents, detergents and pesticides
2. Used for peeling vegetables and fruits with a maximum amount of 3.0g/kg.
3. Used as defoamer; GB 2760-86 provides for the spices allowed to use; used for the preparation of other food grade additives.
4. PALMERA A9912 is widely used in the surfactant industry and can be, according to the classification of surfactants, divided into cationic, anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric type.
The surfactants types of dodecanoic acid are listed in the attached table of this item.
Some surfactants of the derivatives of dodecanoic acid and dodecanol are also antiseptics, such as dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (geramine), dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium bromide (bromo-geramine) and dodecyl dimethyl (2-phenoxyethyl) ammonium bromide (domiphen bromide).
The dodecyldimethyllammonium-2,4,5-trichlorophenolate in these derivatives can be used as citrus preservative.
PALMERA A9912 also has many applications in plastic additives, food additives, spices and pharmaceutical industries.
