Description

(Z)-9-Hexadecenoic Acid (Z)-9-Octadecenyl Ester is a high-purity unsaturated fatty acid ester, a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex lipids and specialty chemicals. Its defined cis-configuration and specific chain length make it a valuable building block for creating compounds with tailored physical and biological properties. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced materials sectors seeking to develop novel formulations and functional ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of prodrugs, lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes), and bioactive molecules.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Serves as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and a base for synthesizing specialty esters in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for creating biodegradable lubricant additives and non-ionic surfactants with low pour points.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Utilized as an intermediate for producing esters that contribute to specific aroma profiles.
• Chemical Research & Development: A critical standard and starting material for organic synthesis, particularly in lipid chemistry and material science projects.
• Advanced Material Production: Employed in the development of polymers, coatings, and plasticizers requiring specific hydrophobic and oleophilic characteristics.
