Description

Gadoleic acid is a monounsaturated ω-9 fatty acid, also known as 9-eicosenoic acid. This high-purity fatty acid is valued for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and advanced materials. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and oleochemical industries seeking consistent, high-quality raw materials for research and production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Serves as an emollient and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Production: A key raw material for manufacturing biodegradable lubricants, emulsifiers, and surfactants.
• Nutritional & Dietary Supplements: Employed in the research and development of specialized lipid-based nutritional products.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a reactive monomer or plasticizer in the production of specialty polymers and coatings.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and cell culture media.

Quality Control

Our Gadoleic acid is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting specifications such as assay (by GC or HPLC), acid value, and peroxide value are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials.
