Description

(Z)-9-Docosenoic Acid CAS NO 25692-11-9 is a high-purity, monounsaturated fatty acid of the C22 family, also known as erucic acid. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and functional ingredient in the synthesis of advanced polymers, surfactants, and specialty chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the oleochemical, lubricant, and personal care industries seeking to develop products with specific melting points, viscosity profiles, and surface-active properties.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Used as a raw material for producing erucamides and other slip agents, which are vital additives in plastic films and industrial lubricants to reduce friction and improve surface finish.
• Surfactant & Detergent Industry: Acts as a key intermediate for synthesizing behenyl derivatives, which are valued in high-performance fabric softeners, conditioners, and emulsifiers due to their excellent softening and conditioning properties.
• Polymer & Resin Manufacturing: Employed in the production of polyamide resins (nylon 1313) and other specialty polymers, where it imparts flexibility, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Utilized in the formulation of creams, lotions, and hair care products for its emollient and conditioning effects, often as behenyl alcohol or behentrimonium chloride derivatives.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material or chiral building block in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Incorporated into formulations for metalworking fluids and industrial coatings to provide a protective layer and enhance corrosion resistance.
