General Description

Arachidic anhydride is a chemical compound with the formula C20H40O2. It is a saturated fatty acid anhydride, derived from arachidic acid, which is found in peanut oil and other vegetable oils. Arachidic anhydride is a white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of various products such as lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants. It can also be used as a processing aid in the production of polymers and as a reagent in chemical synthesis. Arachidic anhydride is considered to have low toxicity and is not expected to pose significant health risks when handled and used properly.
