Description

Bis(10‐Hydroxydecyl)Disulfide is a high-purity, functionalized disulfide compound with terminal hydroxyl groups. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing polymers, lubricant additives, and specialty surfactants. It is particularly sought after by R&D and production teams in the polymer, personal care, and advanced materials industries for creating novel cross-linked networks and surface-modifying agents.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in polyurethane, epoxy, and polyester systems to enhance mechanical properties and thermal stability.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Serves as a precursor for extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear additives, improving the performance of industrial and automotive lubricants.
• Surface Active Agents: Used in the synthesis of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for personal care formulations and industrial cleaning products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the research and development of drug delivery systems and bioactive molecules leveraging its disulfide linkage.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Imparts improved adhesion and flexibility as a reactive modifier in specialty adhesive chemistries.
• Chemical Synthesis: A versatile building block for organic synthesis, particularly in creating molecules with tailored hydrophilicity and redox-responsive properties.

Quality Control

Our Bis(10‐Hydroxydecyl)Disulfide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
