Description

(Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoic Acid, 3-[(14,16- Dimethyl-1-Oxooctadecyl)Oxy]-2-Hydroxy-Propyl Ester is a specialized, high-molecular-weight ester derivative of linoleic acid, designed for advanced formulation applications. This compound matters for its role as a functional intermediate or additive, offering unique chemical properties derived from its branched, long-chain structure. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and formulators in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty lubricants industries seeking to modify viscosity, stability, or surface activity.

Application

• Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a non-ionic emulsifier, emollient, or viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Specialty Lubricants and Greases: Serves as a synthetic base oil or additive component to enhance lubricity and thermal stability.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Used as a plasticizer or compatibilizer to improve the flexibility and processing of polymeric materials.
• Surface Coatings and Inks: Functions as a dispersing agent or flow aid to improve the application properties and finish of coatings.
• Industrial Surfactants: Employed in the synthesis of specialty surfactants for demanding industrial cleaning or agricultural applications.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Potential use as a carrier or release-modifying agent in topical drug delivery systems.
