General Description

Octadecanoic-4,4-D2 acid, also known as stearic acid, is a type of saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C18H36O2. It is found in various animal and vegetable fats and oils and is a major component of cocoa butter and shea butter. This chemical is often used in the production of cosmetics, soaps, and candles, as well as as a releasing agent for mold release and a softening agent for rubber. It also has applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, where it is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer. The "4,4-D2" in its name indicates that the molecule contains deuterium isotopes at the 4th carbon atom of the acid chain, making it useful for research and labeling purposes in chemical and biological studies.
