Description

Docosenoic acid is a high-purity, long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid, also known as erucic acid. This compound is a critical intermediate and functional ingredient valued for its unique chemical structure and properties in advanced industrial synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers in the oleochemical, polymer, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for performance-driven applications.

Application

• Oleochemical Intermediates: A key raw material for producing erucamides, behenyl alcohol, and other derivatives used as slip agents, lubricants, and anti-blocking agents in plastics and films.
• Polymer & Resin Manufacturing: Serves as a monomer or co-monomer in the synthesis of specialty polyamides (nylon 1313), polyesters, and other condensation polymers, imparting flexibility and hydrophobic characteristics.
• Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Used in the production of high-molecular-weight surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical formulations.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a base or additive in the formulation of synthetic lubricants, greases, and corrosion inhibitors due to its excellent lubricity and stability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the synthesis of emollients, wax esters, and thickeners for creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a standard or building block in pharmaceutical research, lipid biochemistry, and material science studies.

Quality Control

Our Docosenoic acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and titration methods, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your manufacturing processes.

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 and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to moisture and air. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket).
