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.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
