Stearyl behenate

Stearyl behenate is an esterified lipid compound formed by the esterification of stearyl alcohol and behenic acid. In scientific research, it has been extensively used as a model compound for studying the behavior of lipophilic esters in various applications, including cosmetic and industrial formulations. It is known for its lubricating properties and stability, making it a valuable tool in exploring the interactions between lipophilic substances and surfactants. In material science research, stearyl behenate has been employed to understand the self-assembling properties of fatty acid esters and their impact on crystallization, polymorphism, and phase behavior. Its interaction with emulsifiers and surfactants has also provided insights into optimizing the stability and performance of emulsions and oil-in-water systems.
