Description

2,4,7,10-Tetraoxatetradecan-1-Ol is a high-purity polyether alcohol with a defined molecular structure, serving as a versatile chemical intermediate and functional additive. Its value lies in its ability to act as a solubilizer, phase transfer agent, and building block for specialty polymers and surfactants. This compound is essential for industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, coatings, and advanced material science, where precise molecular control is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly where enhanced solubility or controlled release is needed.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Acts as a monomer or chain extender in the production of polyurethanes, polyesters, and epoxy resins to modify flexibility and hydrophilicity.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A key precursor for non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers used in agrochemical formulations, paints, and personal care products.
• Solvent & Co-solvent: Functions as a high-boiling-point, polar aprotic solvent or co-solvent in specialty chemical reactions and electrolyte formulations.
• Crosslinking Agent: Employed in the curing processes of coatings, adhesives, and sealants to improve network formation and final material properties.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a valuable reagent in organic synthesis and material science R&D for creating novel compounds with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Our 2,4,7,10-Tetraoxatetradecan-1-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and safety data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
