Description

L-Threitol, 2-o-Nonyl- CAS NO 163776-15-6 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant intermediate derived from the sugar alcohol L-threitol. This compound matters for its role as a versatile building block in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and emulsifiers, offering unique hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries for formulating advanced, mild, and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Surfactant Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing non-ionic surfactants with tailored properties for detergents and industrial cleaners.
• Personal Care Formulations: Used in the development of mild emulsifiers and stabilizers for creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Employed in creating spreaders, wetting agents, and emulsifiers for pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing biocompatible surfactants used in drug delivery systems.
• Polymer Additives: Acts as a modifier or functional monomer in the production of specialty polymers with enhanced surface properties.
• Research & Development: A valuable chiral building block for organic synthesis and chemical research in academic and industrial laboratories.

Quality Control

Our L-Threitol, 2-o-Nonyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
