Description

Pentadecenyl-Butanedioic Acid is a high-purity, unsaturated dicarboxylic acid derivative of significant industrial interest. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique chemical structure that combines a long alkenyl chain with a reactive diacid core. It is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, surfactant, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to develop products with enhanced performance characteristics, such as improved flexibility, adhesion, or surface activity.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a comonomer or cross-linking agent to introduce flexibility and improve impact resistance in polyesters, alkyd resins, and polyamides.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: Serves as a key hydrophobic intermediate for producing anionic surfactants with excellent emulsifying and wetting properties.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Used in the formulation of synthetic esters and corrosion inhibitors for high-performance lubricants and industrial fluids.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a conditioning agent and emollient in skin care formulations, hair conditioners, and creams.
• Adhesive & Sealant Production: Functions as a tackifier and plasticizer component to enhance adhesion and cohesion in pressure-sensitive and structural adhesives.
• Chemical Intermediate: A crucial building block for further synthesis of amides, esters, and salts used in various industrial 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). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizers and bases.
