Description

Tetradecenylsuccinic Anhydride is a versatile alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance polymers and specialty chemicals. Its primary value lies in its reactive anhydride group, which readily undergoes reactions with amines and alcohols to form imides, esters, and other functional materials. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, epoxy curing agent, lubricant additive, and paper sizing industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Epoxy Resin Curing Agent: Acts as a reactive intermediate to produce polyamide and polyimide curing agents, imparting flexibility and chemical resistance to cured epoxy systems.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of ashless succinimide-type additives for lubricating oils and fuel, providing excellent anti-rust and detergent properties.
• Paper Sizing Agent: Serves as a key raw material for Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) alternatives in neutral/alkaline paper sizing, improving water resistance.
• Polymer Modification: Employed as a comonomer or grafting agent to modify polymers like polyolefins, enhancing adhesion, compatibility, and surface properties.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A building block for creating specialty surfactants with unique hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) for industrial applications.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Imparts improved adhesion and moisture resistance when incorporated into hot-melt adhesives and sealants.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecenylsuccinic Anhydride is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, reactivity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and color 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 room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent hydrolysis by atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong bases, amines, and alcohols.
