LAURIC ACID

Lauric acid C12H24O2 also known as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain. The powdery, white crystalline acid has a slight odor

Lauric acid can be combined with other substances to create thermal energy storage cement mortar (TES-CM). TES-CM can be used in plaster form in buildings.
