Description

Glycerol 1-(26-Hydroxyhexacosaate) CAS NO 177602-14-1 is a high-purity, synthetic monoester of glycerol and a long-chain hydroxy fatty acid. This specialized compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, which provides excellent emulsifying and surface-active properties. It serves as a critical intermediate and functional additive for advanced research and development in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries, where precise molecular architecture is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex lipids, prodrugs, and targeted drug delivery systems such as liposomes and nanoparticles.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-performance emollient, emulsifier, and stabilizer in premium skincare creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or building block in lipidomics research, membrane studies, and the development of bioassays.
• Specialty Surfactants: A key precursor for manufacturing novel, non-ionic surfactants with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Lubricant & Release Agent: Employed in specialized industrial applications requiring biocompatible or food-contact surface lubricants.
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce functional groups into polymer chains to modify properties like hydrophilicity and biodegradability.
