Description

Pelargonic Acid Sodium Salt is the sodium salt derivative of pelargonic acid (nonanoic acid), a naturally occurring fatty acid. This compound is valued for its surfactant and antimicrobial properties, making it a versatile intermediate and functional additive in industrial formulations. Key industries that utilize this product include agrochemicals, personal care, and industrial cleaning, where it acts as a dispersant, emulsifier, or preservative enhancer.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, or adjuvant in herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides to improve efficacy and spray coverage.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, or preservative booster in skincare products, soaps, and shampoos.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Serves as a component in detergent blends, degreasers, and sanitizers due to its surfactant and antimicrobial activity.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softening agent, lubricant, or auxiliary chemical in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Research & Development: Employed as a biochemical reagent or standard in analytical chemistry and life science research.

Quality Control

Our Pelargonic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
