Dodecyl 4-hydroxybenzoate CAS 2664-60-0

What is Dodecyl 4-hydroxybenzoate CAS 2664-60-0?

Dodecyl 4-hydroxybenzoate CAS 2664-60-0 is an organic compound derived from p-hydroxybenzoic acid through esterification with dodecanol. The long alkyl chain (C₁₂) contributes to its low water solubility and high lipophilicity, enhancing its compatibility with oily and waxy formulations.
It is valued for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeasts, and molds, making it an effective preservative in formulations that require longer-lasting protection and resistance to degradation. Because of its hydrophobic nature, it’s particularly suited for oil-based and anhydrous products.
