Palmitic Acid

[Tinmanwoodworks]

Does anyone know of a source for buying palmitic acid? I've found it before somewhere and didn't bookmark the site, and now I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

acid? Do you mean palm oil?

Palmitic acid is a fatty acid like stearic acid. It's not a fat.

Thanks for the help. I did end up ordering from lab supply outlaws. I had to have them ship it to my work address, because they wont ship to a home address, and the other place requires a manufacturers tax exemption certificate before you can create an account. Unlike stearic acid which is available off of amazon, palmitic acid is very hard to find. Maybe it's because it's used to make napalm.
Anyway, thanks for the links!
