Description

Glycidyl Palmitoleate is a specialized fatty acid-derived epoxide monomer, offering a unique combination of a reactive oxirane ring and a long-chain unsaturated alkyl group. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate for introducing palmitoleate functionality and cross-linking sites into polymer backbones. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical industries for synthesizing advanced materials with tailored properties such as flexibility, hydrophobicity, and bio-based content.

Application

• Polymer Modification: Acts as a reactive diluent and cross-linking agent in epoxy resin formulations, enhancing flexibility and impact resistance.
• Surface Coatings: Used in the synthesis of alkyd resins and other binders for high-performance industrial and protective coatings.
• Lubricant & Plasticizer Additives: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing ester-based additives that improve lubricity and plasticizing effects.
• Biomedical Materials: Investigated for creating biocompatible and biodegradable polymers for controlled drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds.
• Adhesive Formulations: Incorporated into structural and pressure-sensitive adhesives to modify tack, peel strength, and environmental stability.
• Specialty Surfactants: Intermediate for producing non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.

Quality Control

Our Glycidyl Palmitoleate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, epoxide content, acid value, and impurity profile are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents.
