LAURIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lauric acid is a white, powdery solid or crystalline solid with a faint odor, used in various industrial and consumer applications. It is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Lauric acid is used in the production of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and as a food additive. It is also employed in the synthesis of esters for fragrances and flavorings. Despite its utility, lauric acid can cause skin and eye irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage.
