Description

2-Hydroxydecanedioic Acid is a versatile bifunctional organic compound featuring both a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyl group on a ten-carbon aliphatic chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing polymers, specialty esters, and complex organic molecules where controlled hydrophobicity and functionality are required. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and high-performance polymer industries for research and production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, leveraging its bifunctional nature for conjugation.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a monomer or chain extender in the manufacture of polyesters, polyamides, and other specialty polymers, contributing to material properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the production of emollients, surfactants, and viscosity modifiers for creams, lotions, and other formulations.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Acts as a precursor for synthetic esters used in high-performance lubricants and functional additives.
• Chemical Research & Development: A key building block in organic synthesis for creating novel compounds in academic and industrial R&D settings.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Utilized in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and esters that contribute to complex scent profiles.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxydecanedioic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
