Description
Cetyl palmitate is a synthetic ester with CAS number 540-10-3 and empirical formula C₃₂H₆₄O₂, offered for laboratory and formulation work. Its molar mass is 480,96 g/mol and the boiling point is 360 °C, giving a clear physicochemical profile for weighing, melting and process design. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH as a synthetic grade suited to general chemical and application studies. With EG number 208-736-6 it can be identified unambiguously in inventories and safety documentation. Laboratories use cetyl palmitate when a consistent ester building block is needed for method development, comparative trials or small-scale production support. The solid presentation supports accurate dosing and straightforward handling under standard bench conditions, while the stated molecular data help align recipes and analytical checks with the intended composition.
