Applications
Lauroyl chloride is used as tailoring agent for chemical modification of nanocelluloses of different length, nanofibrillated cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals and in the preparation of acylated collagen with water solubility and better surface activity. It is also employed as organic low-friction boundary lubricant in the preparation of novel polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel.It is used in the synthesis of hemicellulose-based hydrophobic biomaterials.

Solubility
Soluble in ethanol and methanol.

Notes
Moisture sensitive. Store at room temperature. Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
