Description

Monopentadecenoin is a specialized monoglyceride derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex lipids and surfactants. Its unique single unsaturated pentadecenoic acid chain offers distinct physicochemical properties, making it valuable for creating tailored emulsifiers and stabilizers. This high-purity compound is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced material sectors seeking precise molecular control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specialized lipid-based drug delivery systems, including liposomes and nanoemulsions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Serves as a high-performance emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biochemical Research: A critical reagent for studying lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and enzyme kinetics.
• Specialty Surfactants: Acts as a building block for manufacturing non-ionic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Food-Grade Emulsifiers: A potential component in the production of food additives (subject to regulatory approval and specific grade).
• Lubricant & Plastic Additives: Used in the synthesis of ester-based lubricants and polymer plasticizers.

Quality Control

Our Monopentadecenoin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high chemical purity and identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and other relevant quality standards for industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
