Description

Dodecyl Isothiocyanate is a long-chain alkyl isothiocyanate compound, a versatile chemical intermediate prized for its reactivity and hydrophobic character. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a key building block for synthesizing specialized surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and functional polymers. This product is essential for R&D and production in sectors such as specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and materials science, where the introduction of a hydrophobic, reactive moiety is required.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of novel cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants with tailored properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Used in creating film-forming inhibitors for protecting metals in industrial fluids and coatings.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a reactive monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce hydrophobic side chains or thiourea linkages into polymers.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate in the production of certain herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Lubricant Additive: Functionalized to produce extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear additives for advanced lubricant formulations.
• Bioconjugation & Research Chemistry: Utilized in biochemical research for labeling proteins or modifying biomolecules due to its reactivity with amine groups.
• Flotation Agent: Applied in mineral processing as a collector for specific ores.

Quality Control

Our Dodecyl Isothiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for consistent performance in synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, appearance, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases, amines, and oxidizing agents. Due to its reactive nature and potential for moisture sensitivity, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use.
