Description

Heptadecenoicacid CAS NO 26265-99-6 is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a seventeen-carbon chain with one double bond. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, surfactants, and advanced materials. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and pharmaceutical intermediate sectors seeking high-purity, long-chain fatty acid derivatives.

Application

• Surfactant and Emulsifier Synthesis: A key raw material for producing amphiphilic compounds used in detergents, personal care products, and industrial cleaners.
• Lubricant Additives: Used in the formulation of synthetic esters and bio-based lubricants, contributing to improved viscosity and thermal stability.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block or precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and lipid-based drug delivery systems.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Incorporated into the production of emollients, conditioners, and other cosmetic actives for skin and hair care formulations.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Acts as a monomer or modifier in creating polymers with specific flexibility, adhesion, or hydrophobic properties.
• Research and Development: Employed as a standard or reagent in biochemical and nutritional studies related to fatty acid metabolism.
