57-10-3 | Palmitic Acid

Chemical type

• Organic phase change material (fatty acid)

^[1]

• Saturated fatty acid (long-chain)

^[2]

Key properties

• High thermal stability
• Non-corrosiveness
• No phase separation
• Low supercooling
• High chemical stability
• Recyclability
• Forms binary eutectic with capric acid for phase change temperatures suitable for building comfort zones (25-28°C)
• Contributes to latent heat in composites

^[1]

• Induces lipotoxicity in hepatocytes
• Triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and ferroptosis
• Suppresses AMPK activity
• Increases lipid accumulation and triglyceride content

^[2]

• Phase change component in binary PCMs for HPCC
• Thermal regulation in building envelopes (extends comfort zone temperatures)
• Integrated into hygroscopic matrices like calcium alginate to prevent leakage and enhance heat storage

^[1]

• Used in vitro to model hepatocyte lipotoxicity and MASLD
• Experimental tool to study liver steatosis and cell death mechanisms

^[2]

Classification by use

• Phase change materials
• Energy storage materials
• Organic additives in building composites

^[1]

• Experimental lipotoxicity inducer
• Metabolic stressor in hepatocyte studies
