Lauric Acid is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid widely used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, food, chemical, and industrial applications. It is naturally present in several vegetable fats and oils, particularly coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Lauric Acid in India for pharmaceutical formulations, excipient applications, nutraceutical products, cosmetics, and chemical manufacturing. The material can be supplied according to the required grade, purity, physical form, packaging, and applicable specification.
Lauric Acid can be used as a fatty-acid-based formulation ingredient and raw material in selected pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Its hydrophobic characteristics make it useful in formulation development where lipid or fatty-acid functionality is required.
Potential pharmaceutical and formulation applications include:
Lauric Acid possesses a relatively long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a terminal carboxylic acid group. These characteristics allow it to participate in lipid-based formulation systems and chemical synthesis.
Depending on formulation requirements, Lauric Acid and its derivatives may be incorporated into systems requiring lipid functionality, hydrophobicity, emulsification support, or fatty-acid-derived materials.
Lauric Acid is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid containing 12 carbon atoms. Its chemical formula is C₁₂H₂₄O₂ and its molecular weight is 200.32 g/mol.
It is normally supplied as a white to off-white crystalline solid or flakes. Lauric Acid has a melting point of approximately 43–44°C, which gives it a waxy appearance around ambient conditions depending on temperature.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Lauric Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, cosmetic manufacturers, chemical industries, and other qualified customers.
Supply can be customized according to grade, purity, particle/physical form, bulk quantity, packaging, documentation, and application requirements.
Lauric Acid should be stored in tightly closed, suitable containers in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Protect the material from excessive heat, moisture, contamination, and direct sunlight.
The exact storage requirements should be followed according to the applicable SDS, product specification, CoA, and manufacturer's recommendations.
Depending on the grade and customer requirements, documentation may include:
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Lauric Acid for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and industrial applications in India and international markets.
