Description

Guanidine Stearate is an organic salt formed from guanidine and stearic acid, combining the properties of both components. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and functional additive in specialized chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking specific surfactant or emulsifying properties.

Application

• Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier, viscosity modifier, or opacifying agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block or salt form in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Industrial Surfactants: Used in the formulation of specialty detergents, lubricants, and textile processing aids.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a reagent or catalyst in organic reactions, particularly where the guanidine moiety is required.
• Research & Development: Employed in laboratory settings for method development and as a reference standard.

Quality Control

Our Guanidine Stearate is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is available for every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
