Description

Ricinelaidic Acid Sodium Salt is the sodium salt derivative of ricinelaidic acid, a key trans-isomer of ricinoleic acid. This high-purity specialty chemical serves as a critical intermediate and functional additive in advanced research and industrial synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical sectors seeking consistent, high-quality raw materials for formulation and process development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialized drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring specific fatty acid salt functionalities.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a standard, reagent, or substrate in lipid metabolism studies, enzyme inhibition assays, and membrane biophysics research.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Employed as an emulsifying agent, surfactant, or skin-conditioning agent in high-end creams, lotions, and serums.
• Specialty Surfactant Production: Serves as a key raw material for manufacturing anionic surfactants with unique solubility and surface-active properties.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and thickening agent in the formulation of specialized industrial lubricants.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a comonomer or additive to modify the flexibility, hydrophilicity, or processing characteristics of polymers.

Quality Control

Our Ricinelaidic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your project requirements.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, which may affect product quality and stability.
