Description

1,2,3-Heptanetriol CAS NO 103404-57-5 is a versatile trihydric alcohol characterized by its three hydroxyl groups on a seven-carbon chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis and specialty formulations. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and polymer industries for its properties as a humectant, solubilizer, and building block for more complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an effective humectant and moisturizing agent in skin creams, lotions, and serums.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Utilized as a polyol component in the manufacture of specialty polyesters, polyurethanes, and alkyd resins.
• Lubricant & Functional Fluid Additive: Imparts viscosity and stability to synthetic lubricants and hydraulic fluids.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a precursor for surfactants, plasticizers, and other fine chemicals requiring a C7 triol backbone.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic pathways and material properties.

Quality Control

Our 1,2,3-Heptanetriol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, water content, and specific impurities. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding applications in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality.
