Description

cis-9,10-Epoxyoctadecanamide is a high-purity, functionalized fatty acid derivative characterized by its reactive epoxide and amide groups. This unique molecular structure makes it a valuable chemical intermediate and building block for synthesizing specialized polymers, surfactants, and lubricant additives. It is primarily utilized by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the polymer, specialty chemicals, and advanced materials sectors seeking to modify surface properties or introduce cross-linking functionality.

Application

• Polymer Modification: Acts as a reactive monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of epoxy resins, polyamides, and other specialty polymers to enhance thermal or mechanical properties.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate for producing non-ionic surfactants with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) for use in agrochemicals or industrial cleaners.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used to develop friction modifiers and anti-wear additives that improve the performance and stability of industrial lubricants and functional fluids.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the manufacture of emulsifiers and conditioning agents for creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Functions as a chiral building block in the research and development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates.
• Adhesive & Coating Formulations: Incorporated into formulations to improve adhesion, flexibility, and chemical resistance of coatings and sealants.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent for organic synthesis and material science research exploring new macromolecular architectures.

Quality Control

Our cis-9,10-Epoxyoctadecanamide is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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 place 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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
