Description

Gluconamide CAS NO 3118-85-2 is a versatile organic compound derived from gluconic acid, serving as a key intermediate and functional additive in various industrial processes. Its significance lies in its ability to act as a chelating agent, corrosion inhibitor, and surface modifier, offering enhanced performance in formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, metal treatment, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to improve product stability and efficacy.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a humectant and conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and hair care products to improve moisture retention and texture.
• Industrial Cleaning & Detergents: Functions as a builder and chelating agent in liquid soaps and detergent formulations to sequester metal ions and enhance cleaning power.
• Metal Surface Treatment: Employed in metal cleaning and plating baths as a mild corrosion inhibitor and to improve surface finish.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chemical building block in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Concrete Admixtures: Acts as a set retarder or water-reducing agent in concrete formulations to improve workability and final strength.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Utilized as a softening agent and dye-leveling auxiliary in textile and leather treatment processes.

Quality Control

Our Gluconamide is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive quality documentation, including a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the requirements of industrial and specialty chemical applications.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
