Aleuritic Acid

Aleuritic Acid is the straight-chain fatty acid part of lac resin, which generally accounts for 20% – 30%. It is obtained by saponification of shellac and soluble in low alcohols such as methyl, ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. It can be used to synthesize dihydroxyacetone and glucose laurate monoester. And it has good bonding ability to plastics.
