Description

1,2,3-Propanetriol, Phosphate is an organophosphate derivative of glycerol, a key intermediate in the synthesis of phospholipids and other specialty chemicals. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block, offering a reactive phosphate group attached to a glycerol backbone. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors seeking to develop or produce phosphate-based active ingredients, surfactants, or functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the synthesis of phospholipids for liposomal drug delivery systems and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used as a key building block for creating phosphate ester-based pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Specialty Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Serves as a raw material for producing biodegradable, non-ionic surfactants with applications in personal care and industrial formulations.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Incorporated as a monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce phosphate functionality into polymers, enhancing flame retardancy or adhesion properties.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in laboratory settings for studying enzymatic processes involving phospholipids and for synthesizing labeled compounds.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Acts as an intermediate for manufacturing anti-wear and corrosion-inhibiting additives.

Quality Control

Our 1,2,3-Propanetriol, Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and moisture content. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring GMP-grade materials for pharmaceutical development and other high-purity industrial uses.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
