Cyclododecanol (CAS 1724-39-6)

Cyclododecanol is a chemical compound that functions as a surfactant and emulsifier in experimental applications. It has the ability to reduce the surface tension of liquids, allowing for better dispersion and mixing of substances. At the molecular level, cyclododecanol interacts with the interfaces between different phases, such as oil and water, to facilitate the formation of stable emulsions. Cyclododecanol ′s mode of action involves its incorporation into the interface between immiscible liquids, where it aligns itself to stabilize the interface and prevent the separation of the two phases. In and development, cyclododecanol′s surfactant and emulsifying properties make it useful for creating and studying emulsions, as well as for formulating and testing various products that require stable mixtures of liquids. Its molecular interactions enable the manipulation of interfacial properties, contributing to the advancement of experimental processes involving emulsions and dispersions.
