Description

Palmitamidohexadecanediol is a high-purity specialty chemical intermediate, also known by its CAS registry number 129426-19-3. This compound is valued for its bifunctional structure, which provides both lipophilic and reactive hydroxyl groups, making it a versatile building block for advanced synthesis. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for the development of high-performance emollients, surfactants, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Serves as a key intermediate in synthesizing high-end emollients, wax esters, and non-ionic surfactants for creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the production of prodrugs and lipid-based drug delivery systems to enhance bioavailability.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Acts as a precursor for specialty esters that provide excellent lubricity and thermal stability in synthetic lubricants.
• Polymer Modification: Employed as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in polyurethane and polyester resins to modify flexibility and hydrophobicity.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in organic and medicinal chemistry research for constructing complex lipid molecules.

Quality Control

Our Palmitamidohexadecanediol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with relevant industry standards.

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 sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
