Description

n-Decanoic acid, Manganese salt (CAS NO 10139-57-8) is an organometallic compound that serves as a critical source of bioavailable manganese. This product matters for formulators seeking a stable, non-hygroscopic, and oil-soluble manganese supplement for specialized applications. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the animal nutrition, polymer stabilization, and industrial catalyst sectors.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: Used as a trace mineral source of manganese in premixes for poultry, swine, and ruminants to support bone development and enzyme function.
• Polymer Industry: Acts as a heat stabilizer and catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams and certain polyester resins.
• Industrial Catalysis: Serves as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in various organic synthesis and oxidation reactions.
• Nutraceuticals: Employed in the formulation of specialized mineral supplements where oil solubility is required.
• Wood Preservative: Functions as a component in formulations designed to protect wood from fungal decay.
• Drier for Paints & Inks: Utilized as a siccative (drying agent) in alkyd-based coating systems to promote surface drying.
