Description

n-Tetradecyl-D-Gluconamide is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and specialty carbohydrate derivative. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, derived from D-gluconic acid and a tetradecyl (C14) chain, which provides excellent surface-modifying and self-assembly properties. It is primarily utilized in advanced material science, personal care formulations, and as a biochemical research tool for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions and membrane mimetics.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a surfactant in membrane protein studies and for creating biomimetic systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a mild, non-irritating emulsifier and stabilizer in high-end skincare and haircare products.
• Material Science: Serves as a building block for supramolecular gels and nanostructured materials due to its self-assembling properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Potential use as a solubilizing agent or permeation enhancer in drug delivery systems.
• Analytical Chemistry: Can be employed as a chiral selector or stationary phase modifier in chromatographic separations.
• Industrial Surfactants: Functions as a specialty surfactant in formulations requiring biocompatibility and low toxicity.
