Description

Octenylsuccinic Acid is a versatile organic acid derivative widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of modified starches and other specialty chemicals. Its unique bifunctional structure, featuring both a hydrophobic octenyl chain and a hydrophilic succinic acid group, makes it an essential building block for creating effective emulsifiers and stabilizers. This compound is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking to improve product texture, stability, and shelf life.

Application

• Primary raw material for the production of Octenyl Succinic Anhydride (OSA), a critical reagent for starch modification.
• Key intermediate in the manufacture of food-grade emulsifiers (e.g., OSA-modified starch) used in beverages, sauces, and dressings.
• Used in the synthesis of specialty pharmaceutical excipients for controlled drug delivery systems.
• Building block for personal care ingredients, contributing to the stability of lotions and creams.
• Intermediate in the production of paper sizing agents to improve water resistance.
• Starting material for corrosion inhibitors and other performance chemicals in industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Octenylsuccinic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and moisture content are provided to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your production processes.

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, which can affect product quality.
